Impact analysis
Expect a major shift in how tax dollars and grants are funneled into local food banks and school meal programs.
Low-income families and children who rely on school meals or community food pantries will get much more reliable access to food.
Taxpayers might see a shift in budget priorities, and existing non-profits may face new regulations or competition for funding.
