Bill > SB233

This bill requires the Council on Food Security within the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive study on the Home Feeds Nevada Agriculture Food Purchase Program during the 2025-2026 interim. The study will focus on identifying long-term financial sustainability and potential sustainable revenue sources for the program, which is designed to supplement food bank supplies with nutritious food. By December 1, 2026, the Council must submit a written report of its findings to the Director of the State Department of Agriculture and the Director of the Legislative Counsel Bureau, with the report intended to inform the 84th Legislative Session. The Council is also authorized to request drafting of up to one legislative measure related to the program, which must be prefiled before the first day of the 84th Legislature's regular session. Additionally, the bill appropriates $800,000 from the State General Fund to the Nutritious Food Purchase Account to support the program, with strict guidelines that any unspent funds must be returned to the State General Fund by September 17, 2027. The act is set to become effective on July 1, 2025.
