SB 1254: Breaking Down Barriers to Food Access for Justice-Impacted Californians

When Governor Newsom signed SB 1254 into law this fall, California took a major step in addressing food insecurity. Also known as the FRESH Act, this critical piece of legislation will open up doors for thousands of Californians by streamlining access to SNAP/CalFresh. In a legislative session marked by a significant number of vetoes, the approval of this bill stands out as a meaningful win for the people of our state.
