Bill overview
This bill restricts the use of electronic benefit cards by recipients of cash assistance and food stamps in New Jersey. It aims to prevent misuse of taxpayer funds by limiting access to these cards at certain locations, such as casinos, adult entertainment venues, and liquor stores. The bill also requires the Department of Human Services to seek federal waivers and implement security measures for benefit cards, and mandates the issuance of photo-identification cards for recipients until the electronic system is fully implemented.
