Amends how technical assistance and third-party providers are certified and paid under the Food Security Act by allowing the Secretary to authorize non‑Federal entities and State agencies to certify third‑party providers, imposing short review and approval deadlines, requiring clear payment rules and public reporting, and directing periodic reviews and targets to increase use of third‑party providers. The change aims to speed up certification, improve transparency of payments, and expand availability of third‑party technical assistance to program participants.
