Bill Summary
A RESOLUTION To urge and request the Congress of the United States to enact legislation authorizing reimbursement to states that use non-federal funds to continue providing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits during a federal government shutdown.
AI Summary
This resolution urges the United States Congress to pass legislation that would reimburse states for using their own funds to continue providing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits during a federal government shutdown. The resolution highlights that approximately 800,000 Louisiana residents depend on SNAP monthly, and that the state has prepared to use about $150 million of its own funds to ensure these critical food assistance benefits continue if federal funding lapses. The resolution notes that current federal law prevents the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) from automatically reimbursing states for fronting these benefits, and it references a previous congressional precedent from 2014 that allowed such reimbursement. By passing this resolution, the Louisiana House of Representatives is formally requesting that Congress create a mechanism to protect states that use their own resources to maintain this essential federal program during funding interruptions, ensuring that vulnerable populations like children, seniors, and people with disabilities do not lose access to food assistance. The resolution also calls for transmitting this request to congressional leadership and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
