SB 195 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

WELFARE: Provides relative to work requirements within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. (gov sig) (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

SB 195 modifies the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program by removing a specific requirement for mandatory employment and training exemptions. This change directly affects individuals currently participating in the program who were previously required to meet certain work or training conditions to maintain their benefits. The bill achieves this by deleting the phrase "mandatory employment and training" from the list of exemptions in the legislative text. Consequently, the program will no longer enforce these specific work mandates as part of its eligibility criteria.
