Allows offenders to access supplemental nutrition assistance program benefits

Summary

The bill would let people convicted of a drug‑related felony receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which are normally blocked by federal law. To qualify, they must be in or have completed an approved substance‑abuse treatment program, follow court and probation requirements, stay drug‑free for a year, and prove sobriety with voluntary urine tests. The measure aims to support recovery and reduce food insecurity among this population.
