Bill Summary

A BILL To amend the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to provide families year-round access to nutrition incentives under the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (previously part of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008) to expand nutrition incentives for families. Specifically, the bill allows program participants to access nutrition incentives year-round by permitting the use of fresh frozen fruits and vegetables, in addition to fresh produce. The legislation broadens the definition of eligible produce to include legumes alongside fruits and vegetables, which could help increase access to nutritious food options for participants. By allowing fresh frozen produce and expanding the types of eligible foods, the bill aims to provide more flexibility and accessibility to nutrition assistance programs, potentially making it easier for families to maintain a healthy diet throughout the year, regardless of seasonal produce availability.
