S 8553 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to reporting on food security trends

This bill requires New York's Department of Public Health to annually report on food security trends using a standardized survey method. It directs the department to include the USDA's six-item food security survey module in its yearly data collection and publish county-level results on its public website. The law replaces the discontinued federal annual food insecurity report, ensuring New York maintains local tracking of food security. This provides policymakers and community organizations with updated, granular data to inform decisions about nutrition assistance programs.
