The bill establishes a supplemental appropriation of $1,000,000 from the general fund of the state to the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal year 2025-2026. This funding is designated to support the Double Up Food Bucks program, which aims to make fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible to individuals and families receiving assistance through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Grant recipients are required to provide a dollar-for-dollar match of the grant assistance, and the appropriated funds will not revert at the end of the fiscal year, ensuring their availability for the intended purposes.

Additionally, the bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to seek federal approval to modify the list of eligible foods under SNAP to include only healthy foods and beverages necessary for good health. This includes items such as healthy grains, dairy, meat, eggs, peanut butter, nuts, pasta, rice, legumes, and fruits and vegetables. The changes to eligible foods will take effect only upon receiving federal approval, and once approved, the standards for healthy foods cannot be rescinded without new legislation.
