Bill > HR8513

This bill, the CSFP Tribal Nutrition Sovereignty Act, would direct the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a demonstration project that allows Tribal entities (Indian reservations, Indian tribes, and Tribal organizations) to enter into self-determination contracts to purchase agricultural commodities under the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP). The bill sets out specific eligibility criteria for Tribal entities to participate in the project and requirements for the procurement of agricultural commodities. The bill also authorizes $5 million in appropriations to carry out the demonstration project and $1.2 million per year from 2025 to 2028 to fund Department of Agriculture contract officers and program staff to administer the Tribal self-determination contracts.
