SNAP benefits-waiver request.

Wyoming's HB 7 requires the Department of Family Services to request a federal waiver by July 1, 2026, to exclude "accessory foods" (like chips, candy, soda, coffee, and desserts) from SNAP eligibility under federal rules. If approved, Wyoming would prohibit SNAP benefits from purchasing these items; if denied, the request must be repeated annually until granted. The bill directly affects SNAP recipients in Wyoming by potentially restricting their ability to use benefits for certain food items. It defines "accessory foods" in detail but does not change current SNAP rules until the waiver is approved. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
