Bill overview
The RESTORE Act of 2025 amends the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 to allow individuals with drug-related convictions to receive benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It removes barriers that previously prevented these individuals from accessing SNAP, and it ensures that state policies cannot restrict eligibility based on past drug offenses. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘State’ within the context of SNAP assistance and includes incarcerated individuals scheduled for release within 30 days in the definition of a household for SNAP purposes.
