HR 734 · in committee · significant

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

What this bill does

  • USDA must give states and public 60 days to comment before making major changes to how SNAP eligibility is checked.
  • State agencies that run SNAP and organizations serving low-income households are affected by quality control review procedures.
  • The rule applies immediately to new guidance; urgent situations allow interim rules while comments are being collected.

  3. 03

    What specific problems with current USDA guidance procedures is this bill trying to solve, and what evidence supports that a 60-day comment period will address them?
