SCR 7 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A concurrent resolution to urge the Trump Administration and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to immediately release Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding.

SCR 7 is a non-binding concurrent resolution urging the Trump Administration and USDA to immediately release Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding. It directly addresses federal agencies responsible for managing SNAP benefits, which provide food assistance to low-income individuals and families. The resolution does not change laws or allocate funds itself but expresses legislative support for the prompt release of existing SNAP resources. As a concurrent resolution, it requires approval by both legislative chambers but has no legal effect on funding decisions.

MODERATE

The bill was fundamentally rewritten to shift its focus from urging Congress to reopen the federal government to directly pressuring the USDA and Trump Administration to release SNAP funding. The Senate version expands the scope to include specific threats to healthcare access and rural communities, while removing references to federal worker furloughs and general government shutdown impacts.

Scope change

The resolution changed from a general call to reopen the federal government to a specific demand for SNAP funding release, with added emphasis on healthcare cuts and rural economic impact.

SCOPE

The primary objective changed from urging Congress to pass a continuing resolution to directly urging the USDA to release SNAP funding without political interference.

New language was added to explicitly call for the restoration of healthcare access and protection of Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA premium tax credits.

New provisions highlight the disproportionate impact on rural counties and local businesses like farmers and grocery stores.

References to federal worker furloughs, military personnel pay issues, and general government shutdown impacts were removed.

ENFORCEMENT

The recipients of the resolution were changed from congressional leadership to include the President, Secretary of Agriculture, and Senate leadership.
