Bill overview
Senate Bill 1368 aims to give the Arizona Department of Economic Security the authority to request a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to potentially restrict the types of food purchased with SNAP benefits. If a waiver isn't granted, the department will continue to pursue options under federal law. The bill clarifies what constitutes ‘eligible’ and ‘non-eligible’ foods for SNAP purchases, focusing on healthier options. Importantly, the bill does not reduce benefit amounts or limit access to the program.
