Bill Summary
Allows offenders to access supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals convicted of a felony involving possession, distribution, or use of a controlled substance to be exempt from the prohibition against receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which is a federal program providing food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Previously, such convictions could disqualify individuals from SNAP, but this bill removes that restriction by utilizing an option granted to states under federal law (21 U.S.C. Section 862a(d)(1)).
