CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable Supplemental Benefits Program.

Summary

The bill changes the name of California’s fruit‑and‑vegetable nutrition pilot, removes its sunset date, and establishes a grant fund to help retailers offer extra benefits for fresh produce. It defines how the extra benefits are earned, tracked, and used, limits how much each household can receive, and requires the state to publish usage data and evaluate the program. The goal is to increase fresh fruit and vegetable purchases by people who receive CalFresh assistance.
