Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2026

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to consult with Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations before evaluating contracts for food distribution programs on reservations and in the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. It also establishes a process to handle supply chain disruptions by allowing the Secretary to designate emergency warehouse contractors within 45 days and providing tribes with funds to purchase domestic, nutritionally equivalent food if regular supplies are interrupted. Additionally, the legislation mandates that state agencies consult with tribes before submitting plan amendments and ensures that any emergency actions and determinations are publicly disclosed.
