This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to end the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) option that lets certain people get meals from restaurants or private establishments under state programs. The bill strikes language in multiple sections of the Act (section 3(k) paragraphs, section 7(f)(2), and section 9(h)) that refer to private establishments and restaurant participation. It also removes and renumbers related paragraphs in section 11(e). The changes take effect 180 days after enactment.
If this bill becomes law, states would no longer be able to use the SNAP restaurant-meals option. People who currently use SNAP to get meals from participating restaurants or private concession programs (including programs intended to serve the elderly, disabled, and homeless) would no longer have that option after the law takes effect 180 days later.
