AI Summary

This bill establishes a pilot program to promote the recovery of restaurants and ensure food security for seniors aged 60 and above during the state of emergency declared for COVID-19. The program will provide prepared meals to eligible individuals who are at increased risk of complications from COVID-19 and are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The program will partner with restaurants that require economic assistance during the state of emergency, and will reimburse the restaurants for the costs of meal preparation and packaging.
