AR 193 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Affirms support for SNAP and program's progress in reducing hunger among vulnerable populations in New Jersey.

This resolution (AR 193) expresses New Jersey's support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and condemns federal budget cuts that would reduce SNAP funding by $300 billion over ten years. It urges the U.S. Senate to reject these cuts, noting that nearly 850,000 New Jersey residents - including vulnerable groups like seniors, children, veterans, and the disabled - rely on SNAP benefits to address food insecurity. The resolution specifically references the House of Representatives' May 22, 2025, vote approving these cuts as unconscionable.
