## Summary

**Repeals the nutrition-related parts of Public Law 119-21.** The bill would repeal Sections 10101 through 10108 of Public Law 119-21 and restore the law as it existed before those sections were enacted. - Families: Would return nutrition-related rules that shape how households receive food assistance to their pre-119-21 form, potentially changing eligibility or program terms that had been altered by those sections. - Farmers: Would restore prior legal language tied to food security for farmers, reversing any changes made by Sections 10101–10108. - Federal program administrators: Would be directed to apply the pre-enactment text for the affected provisions, effectively reviving the earlier legal framework agencies used before those sections were added.
