CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to oppose any proposal that shifts the cost of SNAP to the states.

SCR 58 is a Louisiana state resolution urging Congress to reject federal proposals that would shift SNAP (food assistance) costs to states. Currently fully funded by the federal government, SNAP supports 42 million people nationwide. The resolution opposes a House proposal requiring states to cover 5-25% of SNAP costs based on error rates, which would force Louisiana to pay $283-473 million annually starting in 2028. This resolution has been reported favorably by Louisiana’s Senate Committee on Health and Welfare.
