Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives blocked legislation that would ban people from using the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to buy candy and soft drinks.
One of the most widely-used welfare programs in the country, SNAP provides low-income individuals and families with monthly funds to purchase food. The program is administered by Minnesota counties but fully funded by the federal government.
On Tuesday, lawmakers in the House Children and Families Committee discussed a slate of bills that would change the SNAP program in Minnesota.
One of those bills was HF 3603, a bill that would require Minnesota’s state government to request a waiver from the federal government which grants Minnesota the authority to ban candy and soda from being eligible for SNAP.
