HR 5181 United States House · 118th Congress

Feeding Rural Families Act of 2023

This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to explicitly include "urban and rural" areas of Hawaii in references to the state's food assistance programs. It makes a technical correction to Section 3(u)(2) by inserting "urban and rural" before "Hawaii" in two places within the law. The change clarifies that Hawaii's food assistance programs must cover both urban and rural communities, without altering eligibility, benefits, or funding. This is a procedural update to the existing statute, not a substantive policy change. The bill directly affects food assistance program administration in Hawaii.
