FDPIR Tribal Food Sovereignty Act of 2023
S 2489, the FDPIR Tribal Food Sovereignty Act of 2023, allows federally recognized tribes to directly manage the food distribution program on Indian reservations. It enables tribes to enter self-determination contracts with the USDA to operate the program (established under the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008), using the same contract rules as other tribal self-governance agreements. The Bureau of Indian Affairs will provide technical assistance to both the USDA and tribes requesting it. This bill directly affects tribes that currently receive food assistance through the USDA's Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), giving them greater control over program administration.
