Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.
What it does
This bill relates to funding of supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) assistance benefits. In the event that the United States department of agriculture ceases to fund supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits, the bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to reallocate moneys otherwise unexpended or unencumbered for that fiscal year and distribute SNAP benefits to eligible households at the same level as when being funded by the federal government. HHS must distribute SNAP benefits until the moneys for the program from the United States department of agriculture are received by HHS. Under the bill, HHS shall promulgate rules to administer the provisions of the bill.
