HB2683

Arizona HB2683 establishes an emergency food assistance fund to provide temporary food vouchers and grants during federal government shutdowns.

Arizona HB2683 creates the emergency food assistance fund, which will provide temporary food vouchers, electronic benefits, or direct assistance to households not eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It also allocates grants to good banks, food pantries, and community-based hunger relief organizations to expand emergency food distribution. The fund will be used only during federal government shutdowns or when the federal government cannot provide funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
