Save SNAP Act.
This bill, known as the Save SNAP Act, provides state funding to North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services and its county partners to offset financial losses caused by recent federal changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The legislation appropriates $16 million for state administrative costs and $69 million for county-level operations, ensuring these programs can continue despite reduced federal reimbursements. Additionally, the bill allocates $10 million to create a grant program that encourages innovative projects aimed at reducing errors in SNAP benefit payments. All funding is set to begin in the 2026-2027 fiscal year, with spending strictly limited to the actual amount of lost federal receipts.

MINOR
The bill has transitioned from a draft filing status to its official first edition, updating the document header and footer identifiers to reflect the final legislative version. The referral to the Senate Rules and Operations committee and the filing date have been updated to match the official record, while the core text of the bill remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document header and footer were updated to change the identifier from a draft code (DRS45501-LUa-166A) to the official bill number (S904-v-1) and to include the 'First Edition' designation.
The 'Referred to' section was updated to explicitly list 'Rules and Operations of the Senate' and added the specific filing date of April 30, 2026.
The standalone 'FILED SENATE' notice and the original draft session header were removed as part of the formatting cleanup for the official edition.
