SB 1780 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

SNAP eligibility; probation compliance

Arizona's SB 1780 modifies SNAP (food assistance) eligibility for individuals convicted of certain drug-related felonies. It allows people convicted after 1996 of a felony involving controlled substances to qualify for SNAP benefits if they complete substance abuse treatment, are enrolled in treatment, or comply with probation terms including drug testing. The bill requires random drug testing as a condition of eligibility and mandates more frequent testing for applicants whose offenses occurred within 24 months of applying. This change directly affects individuals with specific drug felony convictions seeking food assistance, altering their eligibility criteria under Arizona law.
