State Legislature urged to address food insecurity and expand SNAP eligibility in state

This resolution urges the Alabama House of Representatives to address food insecurity by expanding SNAP eligibility and supporting Black farmers. It specifically requests the legislature raise SNAP income thresholds, fund nutrition incentive programs like Double Bucks, and establish a Food Security & Equity Task Force. The resolution cites data showing over 2.3 million Alabamians faced food insecurity in 2021, disproportionately impacting Black, rural, and low-income households. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create law but formally requests these policy changes to improve food access and equity.
