Federal government would study how public grocery stores might affect your local market

The federal government would launch a study to understand how public grocery stores could change local markets. This study would look at effects on private grocery stores, farmers, food banks, and what it means for shoppers' choices and prices. The goal is to gather facts about these new types of stores.

What Would Change

Today, there is no federal requirement for a comprehensive study on how public grocery stores might affect the food market. If this bill becomes law, the Federal Trade Commission would be required to start such a study within 180 days. It would then send an initial report to Congress within one year of completing the study, with annual updates afterward.

Key Provisions

Requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to start a study on public grocery stores within 180 days of the bill becoming law.
Directs the FTC to analyze how public grocery stores would affect private grocery stores, farmers, food banks, and food prices.
Instructs the FTC to examine how public grocery stores might impact consumer choices and prices, especially in areas with limited food access.
Mandates the FTC to look into whether public grocery stores would get special advantages like tax breaks or government funding.
Requires the FTC to send a report to Congress with the study results and recommendations within one year of finishing the study, and then annually.
