The bill aims to amend the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by requiring the Department of Human Services to seek a waiver from the United States Department of Agriculture to exclude candy and soft drinks from the list of eligible foods. The new legal language introduces a specific section, 20-76-120, which defines "candy" and "soft drink" as per existing law and outlines the responsibilities of the Secretary of the Department of Human Services in this process.

If the waiver is granted, the Secretary will prohibit the purchase of candy and soft drinks using SNAP benefits. Should the waiver be denied, the Secretary is mandated to request a waiver annually until approval is obtained. This legislative change is intended to enhance nutrition within the SNAP program by limiting access to less healthy food options.
