Summary

The bill amends the Welfare and Institutions Code so the Department of Social Services can only identify data‑sharing opportunities for CalFresh and must appoint an executive‑level officer to oversee those efforts. It removes the previous permission for state and local agencies to share data with the department, changing how CalFresh participation and impact are measured.
