SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
Senate Bill 506 appropriates $225 thousand from
the general fund to the
Department of Indian Affairs to provide operating expenses to the
Significant Issues
The Department of Indian Affairs reports:
According
to the 2000 U.S. Census, less than 10% of the Twin Lakes Chapter population is
elderly. The Navajo Nation has
established senior centers throughout its reservation to support the Navajo
senior citizens who require some assistance with their daily lives such as
making nutritious meals available. If
given a choice about where to reside, Navajo elders will choose to live at
their homes on the reservation to be close to family, friends and relatives. Senior centers, like in any community, are
vital to many Navajo communities because they support Navajo elders.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
The appropriation of $225 thousand contained in
this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or
unencumbered balance remaining at the end of Fiscal Year 2005 shall revert to
the general fund.
