Interim study to examine the issue of food insecurity for pregnant and postpartum women and their children in Nebraska

This legislative resolution directs the Nebraska Health and Human Services Committee to conduct an interim study on food insecurity affecting pregnant and postpartum women and their children. The study will examine current data on food insecurity, identify barriers to accessing food assistance, review existing programs like WIC and SNAP, and assess how these services impact maternal and child health outcomes. The committee will also consider potential policy changes and determine if additional state funding is needed to improve access to nutrition services for this population.
