SSB 1012 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the double up food bucks program, and making an appropriation.

This bill appropriates $1 million from Iowa's general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to support the Double Up Food Bucks program. It directly helps Iowa residents who receive federal SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits by making fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible at participating farmers markets and grocery stores. The funds will be provided as a grant to the Iowa Healthiest State Initiative to administer the program. This is a funding measure, not a policy change, specifically targeting increased access to healthy food for low-income SNAP households.
