Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to modify the definition of food.
AI Summary
This bill, also known as the "Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act," amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, which governs the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), by modifying the definition of what qualifies as "food" for SNAP benefits. Specifically, it inserts the phrase "hot rotisserie chicken and" into the existing definition, making hot rotisserie chicken explicitly eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits, alongside other authorized food items. The bill also makes minor technical changes to the wording within the Act, replacing "clauses" with "paragraphs" and removing the phrase "of this subsection" for clarity.
