HB 1139 Indiana House · 2025 Regular Session

Expansion of produce Rx pilot grant program.

HB 1139 expands Indiana's existing "produce Rx" pilot program, which provides low-income residents with prescriptions for fresh produce through healthcare providers. The bill allocates state funds to the Indiana Department of Health to increase grant funding for clinics participating in the program, allowing more patients to access subsidized fruits and vegetables. This directly affects low-income individuals in Indiana who receive care at participating healthcare facilities, enabling them to obtain produce as part of their health management. The key mechanism is a state appropriation to scale up the pilot's reach, moving beyond its initial limited scope.
