This concurrent resolution doesn't change South Dakota state law—instead, it expresses the state's support for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to create a working group of nutrition experts that would set national standards for what foods can be bought with SNAP benefits (food stamps). South Dakota is urging the federal government to establish these nutrition standards based on the latest dietary science to help ensure SNAP money supports healthier eating choices.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
The amendment converted SCR603 from an introduced bill format to its enrolled (final passed) version, adding official adoption signatures and dates from both chambers while removing drafting notes—this is a procedural formalization with no substantive change to the resolution's purpose of supporting USDA nutrition standards for SNAP benefits.
