AN ACT relating to the provision of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and declaring an emergency.

Summary

The bill sets up a budget reserve trust fund in Kentucky’s general fund that is funded each year with up to half of any surplus, or enough to bring the fund to 5% of total receipts. The Governor may draw up to 5% of the reserve as a short‑term loan to maintain the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during a federal shutdown, with repayment required within 90 days. Larger withdrawals need legislative approval and the bill requires regular reporting on the fund’s balance and use.
