An Act relative to an agricultural healthy incentives program

This bill creates a year-round healthy incentives program in Massachusetts for SNAP (food assistance) recipients. It provides matching benefits on EBT cards when recipients buy fresh, canned, dried, or frozen fruits and vegetables at participating vendors. The program prioritizes expanding access in underserved areas with limited produce availability and requires collaboration with local food coalitions for outreach. A dedicated "Massachusetts Healthy Incentives Fund" will manage program funding from state and federal sources, and the department must submit annual reports tracking participant demographics, vendor locations, and efforts to improve access in underserved communities.
