What’s in it

This bill relates to the double up food bucks program by making a supplemental appropriation from the general fund of the state to the department of agriculture and land stewardship for fiscal year 2020-2021, in addition to any other funding appropriated for such purpose for the same fiscal year, to provide grants to support the double up food bucks program administered by the Iowa healthiest state initiative to make fresh fruits and vegetables sold at farmers markets, grocery stores, and other participating locations accessible to individuals and families who reside in this state and receive assistance through the federal supplemental nutrition assistance program.

Read the full explanation

The bill requires that a grant recipient that receives funding pursuant to the bill shall provide at least a dollar-for-dollar match of the grant assistance. Moneys appropriated under the bill do not revert at the close of the fiscal year but remain available for the purposes of the double up food bucks program. The bill takes effect upon enactment and is retroactively applicable to July 1, 2020.
