AI Summary
This bill establishes a statewide survey to be conducted by the Department of Transitional Assistance and the Department of Agricultural Resources to gather feedback from both participants and non-participants of the Healthy Incentives Program. The survey aims to assess the knowledge, usage, and experiences of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients and Massachusetts farmers with the Healthy Incentives Program, which provides benefits to SNAP recipients for purchasing fresh, local produce from participating farmers. The bill requires the commissioners of the two departments to set up the rules and procedures for the survey, ensure its timely completion, and publish the results on their respective websites and submit them to the state legislature.
