Bill > SB603

This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to move funds between its different accounting units as needed to cover any decrease in federal money received for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. This authority to transfer funds is in effect for the two-year period ending June 30, 2027, and any transfer of $100,000 or more will require approval from the fiscal committee of the general court and the governor and council before it can be made.
