The bill would change the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 so that recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can use those benefits to pay fees related to food delivery. It adds a definition for "delivery platform or delivery services provider" and updates several statutory sections to exclude delivery fees charged by retail food stores or delivery platforms from certain restrictions.
If this bill becomes law, people who get SNAP benefits could use those benefits to pay delivery fees when they buy food online or have food delivered from retail food stores. The bill also sets a definition for delivery platforms and delivery service providers. No publicly available information on implementation details, timing, or administrative steps is included in the bill text.
