An Act To Address Food Insecurity By Helping Maine Residents Access Locally Produced Food
This bill amends a previous act to provide $300,000 in state funding for a fund that helps Maine residents access locally produced food. The money is designated for the 2024-25 fiscal year to match contributions from private and public sources, aiming to support nutrition incentive programs. By removing emergency language and adjusting the budget, the legislation focuses on a specific financial allocation to address food insecurity through local food access.
