Creates provisions relating to nutrition prescriptions issued by licensed health care providers
HB 3330 allows licensed health care providers (like doctors and dietitians) to issue "nutrition prescriptions" for specific whole, locally grown fruits and vegetables to treat diet-sensitive conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. It creates a system where patients can fill these prescriptions through approved local food programs - like hospital-based food-as-medicine initiatives, food banks, or direct partnerships with state-grown produce farmers. Participation by providers, patients, or food programs is voluntary, and the bill explicitly states it won’t affect eligibility for SNAP or WIC benefits. The program relies on locally produced, unprocessed foods meeting health department standards, with rules to be developed by the Department of Health and Senior Services.
