Establishes the Hawaii food security special fund to supplement federal SNAP benefits for food-insecure families.

The bill establishes the Hawaii food security special fund to address food insecurity in the state. It aims to supplement federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for eligible households, which have been reduced due to federal cuts. The fund will receive state appropriations and other sources of money, and will be administered by the Department of Human Services. The fund will provide additional benefits to SNAP households to maintain the same level of benefits as in federal fiscal year 2023.
