Silver-hair lawmakers to converge Tuesday

On Tuesday, Silver-Haired Legislature (SHL) delegates from all over the state will be in Jefferson City to talk with legislators on various topics.

Last fall, SHL delegates came together for their annual conference and chose these top five priorities to support in this current legislative session:

Senior services growth and development fund

Increase funding for the home-delivered and congregate meals provided by Area Agencies on Aging.

Expand Mo HealthNet (Medicaid)

Provide financial assistance to seniors for medically necessary hearing aid devices, vision services and dental care through Mo HealthNet.

Reauthorize funding for MoRX Program.
