Reintroduced
Reintroduced from S. 2352 (118th), which died when its Congress ended.
This bill would change the tax rules so that people and groups who receive small grants for food security do not have to pay federal income tax on that money. Currently, these grants might be counted as part of a person's or organization's total income.
The grants involved are specifically for projects that help provide fresh and healthy food in areas where it is hard to find or very expensive. This often includes remote areas or places known as food deserts.
By making this money tax-free, the bill aims to make sure that every dollar of the grant goes toward feeding people rather than being reduced by federal taxes. This helps the funding go further in local communities.
If passed, this change would apply to any of these specific food grants received in the tax years starting after the bill becomes law.
