To amend the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 to allow certain States to directly purchase commodities, and for other purposes.

Right now, the federal government buys food and sends it to states to give to people with low income for free through a program called The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). This bill would let states choose to receive the money directly instead of the food, so they can buy the food themselves from private sellers.
