          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015


          Bill  
          Summary: AB 1321 would establish the Nutrition Incentive  
          Matching Grant (NIMG) Program in the Office of Farm to Fork  
          within the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA)  
          to encourage the consumption and purchase of fresh fruits, nuts,  
          and vegetables. It also would create the NIMG account in the  
          state treasury.


          Fiscal  
          Impact: CDFA indicates that the bill could ultimately result in  
          annual General Fund costs potentially reaching the low millions  
          of dollars (special fund), some of which could be offset by  
          federal funds. However, the department would not be authorized  
          to operate the program if sufficient funds have not been  
          appropriated.
