SNAP/FOOD STAMPS: Requests the Department of Children and Family Services to seek a waiver from the federal government to limit access to unhealthy foods

This bill asks the state Department of Children and Family Services to request permission from the federal government to restrict the sale of unhealthy foods to recipients of SNAP benefits. The legislation specifically targets individuals receiving food assistance by seeking a waiver that would allow the state to limit their access to certain items. If the federal government approves the waiver, the department could implement rules preventing these recipients from purchasing unhealthy foods with their benefits. The bill uses non-binding language to urge and request this action rather than mandating it directly.
