SUMMARY
Synopsis of Bill
House Bill 907 appropriates $100.0 thousand from the general fund to the Human Services De-
partment for the purpose of distributing commodity food supplements in food boxes to senior
citizens and others suffering food insecurity in southern New Mexico counties.
Significant Issues
The human Services Department indicates the bill is specific to food distribution in southern
counties of the state and specifically commodity food supplements. The Commodity Supple-
mental Food Program (CSFP) is a federally funded program to serve low-income senior citizens
and families with children under age six. The CSFP funding is administered by the Department
of Health. The food bank serving the southern New Mexico area is operated by Community Ac-
tion Agency of Southern New Mexico. This agency distributes foods from Second Harvest, The
Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), CSFP and others.
