Missouri SB1401 modifies SNAP eligibility for individuals convicted of felony drug offenses.
Missouri SB1401 repeals and replaces Section 208.247 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, concerning eligibility for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill allows individuals convicted of a felony offense involving possession, distribution, or use of a controlled substance to be exempt from the prohibition against eligibility for SNAP. This change aligns with the option granted to the state under federal law, specifically 21 U.S.C. Section 862a(d)(1).
