Allows offenders to access supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits
HB 730 allows individuals convicted of drug-related felonies to qualify for SNAP (food stamp) benefits if they meet specific conditions. It exempts them from a federal ban on SNAP eligibility for such convictions, provided they are actively in approved substance abuse treatment, comply with court and probation requirements, avoid new drug offenses for one year, and pay for required sobriety testing. The bill applies only to those with a single qualifying drug felony conviction and excludes individuals with two or more subsequent drug felony convictions. This changes eligibility rules to align with a federal option under 21 U.S.C. § 862a(d)(1).
