AI Summary
This bill provides for student recipients of educational opportunity funds to be exempt from the 20-hour weekly work requirement ordinarily required for student participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill requires the Department of Human Services to authorize these students to obtain SNAP benefits regardless of whether they meet the federal work requirement, and to implement a public awareness campaign to inform eligible students about the new SNAP eligibility criteria. The bill will only take effect once the federal government approves the necessary waivers or other authorizations to allow the state to implement this exemption without penalty.
