Food Insecure Areas

Summary

The bill creates a new state statute that permits cities and counties to adopt zoning rules and planning provisions for "small‑footprint" grocery stores in areas identified as food insecure. It defines those areas, the stores, and allows localities to require certain reporting from the stores. The aim is to improve access to affordable, nutrient‑dense foods for residents who lack nearby supermarkets.
