Is Rob Bresnahan's Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act in the House farm bill?

Matches stated record claim

What they say

His office says the House farm bill includes his bipartisan Local Farmers Feeding our Communities Act.

“I'm proud this final bill includes my bipartisan legislation to connect families in need with fresh food grown right here in our communities.”

What the record shows ·

He introduced H.R. 4782 on July 29, 2025, with Democratic and Republican original cosponsors. Section 4306 of the House farm bill, H.R. 7567, is the Local Farmers Feeding Our Communities Program. He voted for the farm bill, which passed the House 224-200 on April 30, 2026. The Senate has not passed it.

Limit: "Final bill" means the House-passed version. It is not law, and the section could change in a deal with the Senate. The section copies his bill's program but not its guaranteed $200 million a year; the money would depend on yearly appropriations.
