S 9669 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes the food price equity task force

This bill creates a new Food Price Equity Task Force to investigate racialized disparities in food pricing across the state. The nineteen-member group will be appointed by various government officials and will gather data, conduct audits, and hold public hearings to analyze why food costs differ between low-income and affluent communities. Their work will focus on specific issues such as the impact of benefit reimbursement timelines and the effectiveness of current market protections. The task force is required to submit a final report with recommendations to state leaders within eighteen months, after which the legislature must review the findings and consider implementing new laws.
