Passed the House

The House of Representatives has passed this bill. It now moves to the Senate.

In brief

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture to provide a 60-day public notice and comment period before finalizing substantive changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) quality control system. These requirements apply to any new guidance that forces state agencies to alter their staffing, procedures, or verification systems used to measure SNAP payment accuracy. In urgent cases, the agency may issue interim guidance while the comment period is active. Introduced by Representative Barry Moore (R-AL), the legislation is currently awaiting consideration by a House subcommittee.
