SNAP/FOOD STAMPS: Memorializes the United States Congress and the United States Department of Agriculture to grant Louisiana a waiver to remove unhealthy foods from the list of approved foods that may be purchased with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits
This bill directs the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services to share a proposed rule change with state health and welfare committees before sending it to the federal government. The rule seeks a waiver from the USDA to allow stores to remove unhealthy foods from the list of items that can be bought with SNAP benefits. By requiring this internal review step, the legislation ensures state officials evaluate the proposal before formally requesting federal approval.
