Bill > SB130

This bill establishes a "Restaurant Meals Program" as part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is a federal food assistance program that helps low-income individuals purchase food. Specifically, the program will allow households with elderly or disabled members (including their spouses), as well as homeless individuals, to use their SNAP benefits at participating private restaurants that agree to offer meals at reduced prices. The program is designed to provide more flexible food access options for populations that may have difficulty preparing meals at home, such as seniors, people with disabilities, or individuals experiencing homelessness. By allowing SNAP recipients to purchase prepared meals at restaurants, the program aims to improve nutritional access and support for vulnerable populations who might otherwise struggle to obtain adequate nutrition.
