HCR 2 Louisiana House · 2025 First Extraordinary Session

SNAP/FOOD STAMPS: Urges and requests the Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health to fund SNAP benefits under certain circumstances

HCR 2 is a House Concurrent Resolution (not a bill), titled misleadingly as "SNAP/FOOD STAMPS: Urges...," but it actually contains eight amendments to adjust specific percentage rates in healthcare funding formulas for Louisiana hospitals. The amendments modify numerical values (e.g., changing "1.3%" to "1.38%" for outpatient revenue) across multiple hospital funding provisions in the state budget. It does not address SNAP benefits or food stamp funding, despite the title. This resolution is procedural, seeking legislative approval for technical budget adjustments rather than creating new policy. The title's reference to SNAP appears to be an error, as the text concerns hospital funding rates.
