Overview
This bill proposes to shift the administration of three federal nutrition programs – the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, the Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children – from the Department of Health to the Department of Agriculture in New Jersey. The bill also specifies that the Department of Agriculture will receive all grants and funds associated with these programs, and will transfer relevant employees from the Department of Health. This change aims to consolidate nutrition program management under a single state agency.
