What’s in it

This bill appropriates $1 million from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services for FY 2025-2026, in addition to any other funding appropriated for such purpose for the same fiscal year, to be used to provide a grant to the Iowa healthiest state initiative to support the double up food bucks program. The program makes 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.
