establishing a commission to study the use and regulation of SNAP in New Hampshire.

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to apply for a USDA demonstration waiver that would let the state prohibit SNAP purchases of candy and soft drinks. It also bars discretionary work‑requirement exemptions for able‑bodied adults without dependents, expands data‑sharing with multiple state and federal agencies to verify SNAP eligibility, and creates a process to flag beneficiaries who only shop out of state. The changes aim to tighten program integrity and assess the impact of limiting certain food purchases.
