Bill Summary
Farmers' market double up food bucks program
AI Summary
This bill appropriates $400,000 from the general fund to New Mexico State University's board of regents for fiscal year 2016 to boost the purchasing power of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants. This funding will be used for the "double up food bucks" program, which allows SNAP recipients to buy more fresh fruits and vegetables at New Mexico farmers' markets, effectively doubling their money for these healthy purchases. Any money not spent or committed by the end of fiscal year 2016 will be returned to the general fund.
