SR 135 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

Senate Resolution 135 is a symbolic resolution (not a law) passed by the New Jersey Senate to express support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It directly addresses the 850,000 New Jersey residents - nearly 9% of the state's population - who rely on SNAP benefits, including vulnerable groups like children, seniors, disabled individuals, and veterans. The resolution condemns federal budget proposals (approved by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 2025) that would cut $300 billion in SNAP funding over ten years, calling such cuts "unconscionable" for endangering food security. It urges the U.S. Senate to reject these funding reductions and maintain SNAP as a critical resource for food-insecure households.
