Provide grant funding for senior citizen centers

This bill creates a grant program to help nonprofit organizations and government agencies that serve Montana seniors over age 60 with construction, maintenance, and equipment needs for their centers. The Department of Commerce will administer up to $5 million in funding for projects like building repairs, remodeling, and purchasing appliances, with grants capped at $250,000 per project and $350,000 per county. To receive funding, organizations must submit proposals and provide matching funds or in-kind contributions for grants of $25,000 or more, while also following project management and reporting requirements. The program is funded through a transfer from the state general fund and is authorized to continue through the 2029 biennium, with the entire act set to expire in 2031.
