Explanation

(This amendment adds $100,000 from the general fund the second year to the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) for demographic services to enable the agency and local Area Agencies on Aging to obtain and appropriately use demographic data in updating funding formulas, procuring grant funding and support census work for client populations. Timely, accurate and readily available demographic data is critical for programs administered through DARS to ensure compliance with funding from federal, state and private partners.)
