A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to appropriations; to state intent regarding appropriations for food assistance; and to declare an emergency.
AI Summary
This bill states the Nebraska Legislature's intent to appropriate $10 million for each of the fiscal years 2025-26 and 2026-27 from federal funds to the Department of Health and Human Services' Public Assistance program. Specifically, the funds will come from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program and will be used as grants to nonprofit organizations that meet three key criteria: (1) provide food assistance, (2) distribute food in at least ten counties in Nebraska, and (3) qualify for the Emergency Food Assistance Program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it would take effect immediately upon passage and approval, which allows for rapid implementation of the food assistance funding. This appropriation aims to support nonprofit organizations working to address food insecurity across multiple counties in Nebraska by providing them with significant federal funding.
