A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to exclude micro-grants for food security from gross income.
Key claim: S4780 proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exclude micro-grants for food security from gross income.
Abstract
(S4780 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-15): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.
Why this matters
Micro-grants for food security fund small-scale local food production in food-insecure states, territories, and tribal areas; taxing them reduces their effective size for recipients who often operate on thin margins. Excluding these grants from gross income would preserve their full value for farmers and community producers without changing program eligibility or scope, a narrow but recurring pattern in how Congress fine-tunes USDA assistance through the tax code.
