AI Summary
This bill directs the Oklahoma Department of Human Services to request a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service to prevent Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which are intended to help low-income individuals and families purchase food, from being used to buy items sold outside of Oklahoma by recipients living within the state. The request must include reasons for this exclusion based on economic impacts, a plan for how to implement it including educating participants and enforcing the rule, and any other data supporting the change. If the waiver is approved, the Department will inform SNAP recipients about the new policy and must then provide an annual report to state legislative leaders and the Governor detailing the waiver's progress, any difficulties in enforcing it, and its economic effects. This act will take effect on November 1, 2026.
