South Carolina SNAP Nutrition Integrity Act seeks to restrict SNAP benefits for candy and soft drinks.

The South Carolina SNAP Nutrition Integrity Act aims to improve public health by restricting the use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for purchasing candy and soft drinks. The bill requires the South Carolina Department of Social Services to apply for a federal waiver to implement these restrictions. If approved, the department must enforce the restrictions within six months. The bill also mandates annual reporting on the waiver status, SNAP spending trends, and challenges in implementing the restrictions.
