Bill > HR3903

This bill, the Keeping SNAP in our Communities Act of 2023, amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to enhance the administrative and judicial process for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) retailers. Key changes include requiring the agency to notify store owners, officers, and managers by email and other means about administrative determinations, increasing the time for stores to request a review from 10 to 30 days, and requiring the agency to bear the burden of proof and provide relevant records to the store during administrative proceedings. The bill also directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a study on the use of permanent disqualification for first-time trafficking offenders and the metrics used in the Anti-Fraud Locator Using Electronic Benefits Transfer System (ALERT) to detect fraudulent activity.
