Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
Costs related to the increased percentages required to be purchased from in-state producers cannot be estimated at this time, partially due to low response rate (20%) from state-funded institutions. It would be anticipated that some in-state fresh food might be more expensive than out-of-state alternatives.
There is not revenue associated with the Fresh Food Act so changes to revenue would be $0.
Memorandum
