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 changed the bill's designation from an introduced version to its enrolled (final passed) version, removing the introductory language and formatting markers and adding signatures from legislative leadership confirming passage by both chambers on January 26-29, 2026. This is a procedural finalization with no substantive changes to the resolution's purpose of supporting USDA efforts to establish nutrition standards for SNAP-purchased foods.
