SUMMARY

Synopsis of Bill

House Bill 177 appropriates $65.0 from the general fund to DOH to expand the women, infants and children (WIC) farmers’ market nutrition program.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS

The appropriation of $65.0 contained in this bill is a recurring expense to the general fund. Any unexpended or unencumbered balance remaining at the end of FY03 shall revert to the general fund.

DOH’s analysis is unclear if there are any U.S. Department of Agriculture funds available for this program in FY03.
