CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 1740 - This act requires the Department of Social Services to implement a pilot project for the purchase of prepaid mobile devices to be distributed to domestic violence shelters through grants. The shelter shall distribute those devices to those victims of domestic violence in greatest need of a device. The Department shall ensure that the devices are distributed equally across the state and in both rural and urban shelters. This act creates the "Domestic Violence Shelter Cell Phone Fund", which may include grants, donations, gifts, and bequests, for the implementation of this pilot project.
This pilot project shall expire on August 28, 2032, unless reauthorized.
