Small grocery stores and food retailers that accept SNAP online or offer delivery would face new compliance requirements, including reporting obligations and the risk of losing SNAP authorization if they don't meet the standards. While larger chains may absorb these costs more easily, smaller retailers could find the cybersecurity, privacy, and delivery standards more burdensome to implement.
“shall lose authorization to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance program; and ``(B) may reapply for that authorization upon demonstrating that the retail food store or wholesale food concern, as applicable, is in compliance with those standards.”
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
