Increasing Tribal Input on Nutrition Act of 2025

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 to name an emergency warehouse contractor within 45 days and could pay Tribes directly to buy U.S.-grown food, capped at the amount the program would otherwise spend for them. For the commodity supplemental food program, the Secretary would hold yearly consultations with Tribes, and states would be encouraged to consult Tribes before changing their state plans.
