Bill > S813

This bill modifies the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, which provides financial incentives to help low-income families purchase fruits and vegetables, by expanding the program's scope and flexibility. Specifically, the bill allows nutrition incentive programs to offer fresh frozen fruits and vegetables year-round, broadening the types of produce that can be purchased with these incentives. The legislation also expands the definition of eligible produce to include legumes, in addition to fruits and vegetables. These changes aim to increase access to healthy food options for families throughout the year by allowing more flexibility in produce selection and preservation methods. The bill is named the Supporting all Healthy Options when Purchasing Produce (SHOPP) Act of 2025 and amends the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 to implement these modifications to the existing nutrition incentive program.
