HR 2379 United States House · 119th Congress

Farmers’ Market Expansion Act of 2025

This bill amends the Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program by adding "tree nuts (including shelled tree nuts)" to the list of eligible items seniors can purchase with program benefits. It directly affects seniors enrolled in the program who shop at participating farmers' markets. The key change is a technical update to the program's eligibility rules, expanding the types of food items covered under Section 4402(b)(1) of the 2002 Farm Security Act (7 U.S.C. 3007(b)(1)). The bill does not create new funding or significantly alter the program's structure.
