Arizona HB4101 seeks to allow SNAP enrollees to buy hot foods and prepared foods by requesting a waiver from the USDA.

Arizona HB4101 amends the Arizona Revised Statutes to allow the Department of Economic Security to request a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture. If granted, the waiver would enable Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program enrollees to purchase hot foods and prepared foods. Hot foods are defined as those sold hot at the point of sale, and prepared foods are those made by a retailer and ready for immediate consumption. If the waiver is not granted initially, the director must request it annually until it is approved.
