Bill overview
This bill, the SNAP Second Chance Act of 2022, aims to make it easier for retailers to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Currently, SNAP eligibility for retailers can be affected by past criminal convictions. This legislation limits the Department of Agriculture’s ability to exclude retailers based on such convictions, specifically focusing on crimes involving fraud or deception. It also requires the Department to develop regulations clarifying how these convictions will be considered.
