AI Summary
This bill aims to establish a statewide healthy food incentive program in Wisconsin. The key provisions are:
1. The bill amends the existing "healthy eating incentive pilot program" to create a "healthy food incentive program" and extends the program's funding beyond the original December 31, 2019 deadline.
2. The program will provide food stamp recipients with a monetary incentive to purchase fruits and vegetables from eligible retailers, such as supermarkets, farmers' markets, and community-supported agriculture programs.
3. The program will be administered by one or more nonprofit organizations selected through a competitive process, with the Department of Health Services overseeing the program and seeking federal matching funds.
4. The bill specifies that up to 25% of the program's funding can be used for administrative costs, while the remaining funds must be allocated directly to the eligible retailers participating in the program.
5. The Department of Health Services is required to submit annual reports to the legislature on the implementation and evaluation of the healthy food incentive program.
