256.9753 VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS FOR RETIRED SENIOR CITIZENS.
Subdivision 1. Policy. The legislature finds that the services of volunteers are crucial to
the effectiveness of public and private human services programs in the state. The legislature
further finds that retired senior citizens are an excellent source of volunteer services, and that
by recognizing and supporting retired senior volunteer programs the state will be serving the
interests of human services as well as the interests of those senior citizens who participate in the
volunteer programs.
Subd. 2. State support. The Board on Aging, with the cooperation of heads of other
affected state agencies, shall provide staff and material support and shall make financial grants
consistent with the purposes of subdivisions 1 to 4, to retired senior volunteer programs in the
state. This support may include reimbursement of expenses incurred by program participants in
the performance of their volunteer activities.
Subd. 3. Expenditures. The board shall consult with the commissioner of human services,
prior to expending money available for the retired senior volunteer programs. Expenditures shall
be made (1) to strengthen and expand existing retired senior volunteer programs, and (2) to
encourage the development of new programs in areas in the state where these programs do not
exist. Grants shall be made consistent with applicable federal guidelines.
Subd. 4. Report. The board shall report to the governor and the legislature by July 1, 1981,
on (1) the number, type and location of human services activities assisted by retired senior
volunteer programs supported pursuant to subdivisions 1 to 4; (2) the number of retired seniors
