NASDA is pleased to endorse the Improving Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act of 2016. The bill includes provisions to remove a burdensome waiver requirement which created additional hurdles for state departments of agriculture to efficiently administer child nutrition programs. NASDA supports the administration of child nutrition programs by state departments of agriculture due to their close ties to the American farmers and ranchers who are producing the food and tending the land which feeds millions of children per day. We encourage the House to also include these provisions in their bill.

NASDA Members in Florida, New Jersey, Nevada, and Texas administer child nutrition programs.
