Purpose and Summary

Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
Bill 119 HR 1942 aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to raise the standard charitable mileage rate for the delivery of meals to elderly, disabled, frail, and at-risk individuals. This bill seeks to provide a higher reimbursement rate for volunteers who use their own vehicles to deliver meals to those in need.

The current standard charitable mileage rate is set at 14 cents per mile, but this bill proposes to increase it to a higher rate. By doing so, it would incentivize more volunteers to participate in meal delivery programs, ultimately benefiting those who rely on these services.

The bill specifically targets individuals who are elderly, disabled, frail, or at-risk, highlighting the importance of ensuring that these vulnerable populations have access to nutritious meals. By increasing the standard charitable mileage rate, this legislation aims to support and encourage volunteers to continue providing this essential service to those in need. Overall, Bill 119 HR 1942 seeks to improve the delivery of meals to vulnerable populations by increasing the standard charitable mileage rate for volunteers. This change would help ensure that those who are elderly, disabled, frail, or at-risk have access to the meals they need to maintain their health and well-being.
