What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
