Overview
This bill establishes the Stolen SNAP Benefits Replacement Fund within the Department of Treasury to address fraudulent theft of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. It requires the Department of Human Services (DHS) to replace stolen benefits from this fund, prioritizing participants whose theft occurred after federal programs ceased replacing stolen benefits. The bill also appropriates $20 million to the Administrative Office of the Courts to support a system for collecting a supplemental fee from defendants involved in related legal settlements, with the fund ultimately dissolving once the state transitions to chip technology EBT cards for all SNAP participants.
