An act relating to the use of Special Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children benefits at farmers’ markets

This bill requires Vermont's Departments of Health and for Children and Families to submit a report on how to enable WIC card users to pay at farmers' markets. The report must outline the feasibility, timeline, and costs for providing farmers' market vendors with payment devices that work with electronic benefit transfer cards. The bill affects WIC program participants, farmers' market vendors, and state agencies responsible for nutrition programs. It takes effect on July 1, 2023, and directs the report to be submitted by January 15, 2024.
