Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify the thrifty food plan to apply to the urban and rural parts of the State of Hawaii.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify language related to the thrifty food plan in Hawaii, specifically by inserting the phrases "urban and rural parts of" and "urban and rural" before references to Hawaii. The thrifty food plan is a nutrition assistance standard used to determine benefits for programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which helps low-income families purchase food. By explicitly mentioning both urban and rural parts of Hawaii, the bill appears to ensure that food assistance calculations and provisions apply equally and comprehensively across different geographic areas within the state, potentially addressing potential disparities in how food assistance is calculated or distributed between urban and rural Hawaiian communities.
