Missouri HB2706 directs the Department of Social Services to seek a USDA waiver for SNAP to prioritize healthy food purchases.
Missouri HB2706 amends Chapter 208 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section. This section instructs the director of the Department of Social Services to apply for a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture. The waiver would allow the state to operate the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in a way that prioritizes healthy foods and nutritional value. It would also discourage the purchase of foods high in added sugar and ultra-processed foods.
