What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the federal food stamp program, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and called FoodShare in this state, assists eligible low-income individuals to purchase food. SNAP benefits are paid entirely with federal moneys. The cost of administration is split between the federal and state governments; the program is administered in this state by the Department of Health Services (DHS).
This bill requires DHS to conduct a pilot program that limits the use of SNAP benefits for foods, food products, and beverages (foods and beverages) that have sufficient nutritional value. DHS must identify specific or categories of foods and beverages that do not have sufficient nutritional value and prohibit the use of SNAP benefits for those foods and beverages. If DHS determines that a federal waiver is needed to implement the pilot program, it must request the waiver and may not implement the pilot program unless the waiver is granted.
