This resolution does not change South Dakota state law; instead, it expresses the state's support for the federal government to create national nutrition standards for foods that can be purchased with SNAP benefits (food stamps). South Dakota is urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a working group of nutrition experts to set clear guidelines about which foods and beverages SNAP recipients can buy, based on current health science.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
