HR 6272 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 with respect to the issuance of quality control guidance issued by the Secretary of Agriculture.

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allow 60 days of public comment before finalizing new or updated quality control guidance for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) state agencies. It applies specifically to guidance that would force states to change their systems, procedures, or staffing for quality control reviews or verification processes. The rule does not apply if the Secretary deems immediate action necessary due to an urgent situation, allowing interim guidance to be issued alongside the comment period. This change affects state agencies administering SNAP benefits by adding a transparency step before implementing new quality control requirements.
