Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2026

This bill changes two federal food programs that serve Native American communities. Before reviewing contracts for the food distribution program on Indian reservations, the Secretary of Agriculture would have to consult with Indian Tribes and Tribal organizations and include their feedback. If the Secretary finds a food supply chain disruption, the Secretary would have 45 days to name an emergency warehouse contractor, could give Tribes payments to buy U.S.-grown food instead, and would have to notify affected groups and post the decision online. The bill also requires yearly consultations with Tribes under the commodity supplemental food program and encourages states to consult Tribes before changing their program plans.
