SNAP benefits; purchases; waiver

This Arizona bill seeks a federal waiver to prohibit SNAP benefits from being used for fast food purchases while allowing their use for vitamins. If approved, SNAP recipients in Arizona would no longer be able to buy fast food with their benefits but could purchase vitamins using the program. The state would need to annually request this waiver until approved. The bill is currently in early legislative review stages (prefiled, first reading) and does not change existing SNAP rules until federal approval is granted.
