What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Health Services to prepare and submit a comprehensive implementation plan to the food and nutrition service of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture for approval to issue electronic benefit transfer identification cards containing a photo to recipients of assistance under the federal food stamp program. The program, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, and called FoodShare in this state, provides assistance to eligible low-income individuals for purchasing 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 DHS.

In addition to requiring DHS to submit an implementation plan to USDA for approval to issue photo EBT cards, the bill requires DHS to submit a waiver request to USDA to allow DHS to require FoodShare recipients to show an EBT card containing a photo when making purchases using FoodShare benefits. Finally, this bill requires that if FNS and USDA approve the comprehensive implementation plan and the waiver, respectively, DHS must submit the plan, the waiver, and a request for any necessary appropriations to implement the plan to the Joint Committee on Finance for approval. Once the implementation plan and the waiver have federal approval and approval from JCF, then DHS must implement the proposals in the approved implementation plan and issue EBT cards containing photo identification of the FoodShare recipients to whom they are issued.
