FDPIR Tribal Food Sovereignty Act of 2026
Introduced Jun 15, 2026 by Sen. Tina Smith
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill expands and makes permanent a pilot program through which the Department of Agriculture must enter into self-determination contracts with tribal organizations, upon the request of an Indian tribe, to carry out the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR). (FDPIR provides, in lieu of benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, food commodities to low-income households on Indian reservations and to Native American families residing in Oklahoma or in designated areas near Oklahoma.)
