Establishes a "Restaurant Meals Program" as part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

SB 130 would create a new "Restaurant Meals Program" within the existing SNAP benefits program. It would allow eligible SNAP recipients (such as seniors, people with disabilities, or homeless individuals who cannot cook) to use their benefits to purchase prepared meals at participating restaurants. This program would operate similarly to current SNAP rules for grocery purchases, but specifically for restaurant meals, expanding access for those who face barriers to preparing food at home. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Families, Seniors and Health Committee.
