This bill mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to transfer funds as needed to compensate for any reductions in federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during the biennium ending June 30, 2027. Specifically, it allows the department to transfer funds within and among accounting units to address budget shortfalls caused by decreased federal support. Notably, any transfer of $100,000 or more will require prior approval from the fiscal committee of the general court and the governor and council.

The bill also includes a provision that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. The language of the bill introduces new legal requirements for fund transfers while overriding any conflicting laws, ensuring that the state can maintain SNAP funding levels despite potential federal cuts. There are no deletions from current law noted in the text provided.
