SNAP Nutrition Security Act of 2023

The SNAP Nutrition Security Act of 2023 amends the Food and Nutrition Act to establish new definitions for "food security" (access to enough food for a healthy life) and "nutrition security" (equitable access to healthy, affordable foods). It requires the USDA to collect store-level data on specific food items purchased by SNAP participants using electronic systems, while exempting this data collection from standard paperwork rules. The bill mandates annual reports to Congress analyzing SNAP participants' food security, nutrition security, and diet quality, plus a detailed food sales report by 2025 using the collected data. These reports will assess program changes and recommend improvements to reduce food insecurity and diet-related health issues like obesity and diabetes. The law directly affects SNAP participants, the USDA, and Congress through enhanced data collection and reporting requirements.
