A 3634 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Transfers administration of certain nutrition programs to Department of Agriculture.

This bill transfers administration of three federal nutrition programs - the WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program, and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) - from New Jersey's Department of Health to the Department of Agriculture. The bill designates the Department of Agriculture as the state agency responsible for these programs, aligning with federal requirements. It also transfers all related grants, funds, and necessary employees from the Department of Health to the Department of Agriculture. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
