This bill directs the Comptroller General to study changes in the Consumer Price Index for food at home for the 20-year period ending on the date the bill is enacted. The study may include other economic metrics needed to assess how food-at-home costs affect consumers. The Comptroller General must submit a report to specified congressional committees within 180 days. The report must include the study findings and recommendations to help lower food-at-home costs for consumers.
The bill does not itself change grocery prices or create programs. It will produce a federal study and report that may inform future actions by Congress or federal agencies. If enacted, the study could identify factors that affect grocery prices and offer recommendations aimed at reducing those costs.
