What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Making Agricultural Products Locally Essential (MAPLE) Act," aims to expand the seniors farmers' market nutrition program. It proposes a specific change to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. The primary goal is to include maple syrup as an eligible item within the program. This would be achieved by amending existing law to add maple syrup to the current list of eligible products.
