DHS; direct to reinstate program of providing meals to older individuals in community setting.

HB 230 would have required Mississippi's Department of Human Services to reinstate a program providing nutritionally balanced meals to older residents at community sites like senior centers. It aimed to restore a discontinued service for seniors who rely on these meals for food security and social connection. However, the bill died in committee on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted into law. The proposal directly affected older Mississippians in community settings who previously accessed this meal service.
