Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 557 now proposes to increase the current voucher amount by $10 instead of the originally suggested $30. This change is important because it lowers the proposed additional financial support for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, which could impact the benefits available to seniors using the vouchers at farmers' markets.
