SNAP Tribal Food Sovereignty Act of 2023

This bill allows federally recognized tribes and tribal organizations to directly administer their own Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits using existing self-determination contracting frameworks. It enables tribes to enter agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to plan, conduct, and manage SNAP services for tribal members, rather than relying on state agencies. The bill modifies the Indian Self-Determination Act to include SNAP under tribal self-governance authority, requiring USDA to use the same contract terms and procedures as for other tribal programs. This change directly affects tribes seeking greater control over their food assistance programs, aligning SNAP administration with tribal self-determination principles.
