This bill’s path across every version that has carried it.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
Retail food stores and wholesale food concerns that accept SNAP benefits would face tougher oversight. Medium- and high-risk stores would need annual reauthorization instead of the current longer cycle. Stores convicted of trafficking food instruments or selling prohibited items in exchange for benefits would face permanent disqualification by state agencies, with civil penalties up to $40,000 per investigation. This creates more compliance burden for small grocery and convenience store owners who participate in SNAP.
