in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law limits what states can charge for handing out free food-program commodities. States can only bill recipient agencies for their actual storage and transport costs. They must first subtract any money the Secretary already gave them for those same costs.

Whenever the Secretary makes a commodity available without charge or credit under a nutrition program the Secretary administers, and a State distributes it to eligible recipient agencies, the State may not charge those agencies more than the State's own direct costs of storing and transporting the commodities to the recipient agencies. Before charging, the State must subtract any amount the Secretary already provided the State to cover those same storing and transporting costs.

Whenever a commodity is made available without charge or credit under any nutrition program administered by the Secretary for distribution within the States to eligible recipient agencies, the State may not charge recipient agencies any amount that is in excess of the State’s direct costs of storing and transporting the commodities to recipient agencies minus any amount the Secretary provides the State for the costs of storing and transporting such commodities.
