Supplemental appropriation of $30 million for Food and Hunger Programs in New Jersey's Department of Agriculture.

New Jersey A4286 provides a $30 million supplemental appropriation from the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2026 to support Food and Hunger Programs within the Department of Agriculture. This funding aims to address the impact of the federal government shutdown in November 2025, which halted benefit payments under the federal SNAP program due to insufficient funds. The bill ensures that meals reach low-income families, senior citizens, disabled individuals, and children throughout the state.
