A 10332 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the food price equity task force

This bill creates a 19-member state task force to study racial and geographic disparities in food pricing between low-income and affluent communities. The task force will collect anonymized retailer data, conduct surveys, hold public hearings, and analyze factors like wholesale costs and benefit reimbursement timelines to identify price inequities. It must submit a final report with recommendations - including potential policy changes - within 18 months, after which the legislature must hold hearings and introduce implementing legislation within one session. The bill directly affects state agencies, retailers, and communities experiencing inflated food costs, focusing on factual analysis rather than immediate policy changes.
