AI Summary
This bill, titled "To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify the definition of food," proposes changes to what is considered eligible food for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Specifically, it seeks to add "hot rotisserie chicken" to the list of authorized food items, which are currently defined in Section 3(k)(1) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. The bill also makes minor technical adjustments by changing the word "clauses" to "paragraphs" and removing the phrase "of this subsection" for clarity and consistency within the law.
