Allows for SNAP benefits to be used to purchase menstrual products

Bill A 8246 proposes to allow individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to use them for purchasing menstrual products, including sanitary napkins, tampons, and panty liners. The bill directs the state's Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to seek a waiver or authorization from the federal government for this change. This policy would only take effect if federal approval is granted.
