What’s in it

AI summary Iowa would provide extra money to help people who receive food assistance buy fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers markets and grocery stores. This funding supports the Double Up Food Bucks program, which makes healthy food more affordable for families across the state. Any group receiving these grants must also provide an equal amount of their own money to match the state's support.1

Read the official explanation

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 2023–2024, 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. 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.
