AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture, working with the Director of the Census Bureau, to set up and keep an interagency program that collects, analyzes, and reports data on food insecurity and hunger each year. The Census Bureau's Current Population Survey must include a food security supplement using questions consistent with the 2023 questionnaire for 2026 through 2028, and similar questions after that, with changes allowed only after testing, review, public input, and Office of Management and Budget clearance. The Secretary must post the annual report on the Department's website and send it to Congress. The bill provides such sums as may be necessary, and the Department of Agriculture must pay the Census Bureau's costs for the survey supplement.
