Existing law, administered by the State Department of Social Services, provides for the establishment of a statewide electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system for the purpose of providing financial and food assistance benefits to needy Californians. This bill would allow an interested collective group or association of produce sellers that is Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) authorized and in a flea market, farmers' market, or certified farmers' market to initiate and operate an EBT acceptance system in the market, as specified. The bill would provide that an individual produce seller in a market is not prohibited from operating his or her own individual EBT acceptance activity as part of that seller's personal business customer transaction offering.
