The bill establishes a mobile market program in Washington State aimed at increasing access to fresh, healthy foods for participants of the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs. It recognizes the challenges faced by low-income households, particularly in rural areas and food deserts, in accessing farmers markets. The program is designed to support local farmers while ensuring that eligible participants can obtain fresh produce through nonprofit mobile markets, thereby promoting better nutrition and community health.

The new section added to chapter 43.70 RCW outlines the program's goals, eligibility, and operational requirements. It mandates that mobile markets be operated by nonprofit organizations and prohibits competition with existing farmers markets participating in the nutrition program. Additionally, the bill allows the department to seek a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture to enable mobile markets to accept benefits from both the WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs. The act is set to take effect on March 1, 2026.
