MAPLE Act

This bill amends the Seniors Farmers' Market Nutrition Program to include maple syrup as an eligible product for purchase with program benefits, alongside herbs and other agricultural items. It directly affects seniors participating in the program by expanding the range of locally produced agricultural goods they can buy using their benefits. The key change is a simple addition to the list of qualifying products in existing law, with no new funding or program structure.
