Bill > S3594

This bill, titled the "Nutrition Administration Assistance Act of 2026," aims to provide additional funding to states for the administrative costs associated with running specific nutrition programs. Specifically, it allocates 70% of the funds appropriated under Section 3 to states for administering the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which helps low-income mothers, infants, and children. Another 20% of these funds will go to states to cover administrative expenses for implementing State plans under the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983, a program that provides food to low-income individuals and families. Finally, 10% of the appropriated funds will be provided to states for administrative costs related to the Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, which supports seniors by providing them with fresh produce from farmers' markets. The bill authorizes $1,000,000 to be appropriated annually for these purposes through fiscal year 2030.
