The resolution affirms the New Jersey General Assembly's support for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and highlights its effectiveness in reducing hunger among vulnerable populations in the state. It condemns the recent actions of the United States House of Representatives, which approved a budget bill on May 22, 2025, that includes significant cuts to food aid funding, particularly targeting SNAP. These proposed cuts, amounting to $300 billion over ten years, are seen as detrimental to the nearly 850,000 New Jersey residents who rely on SNAP benefits, including many of the state's most vulnerable individuals such as children, seniors, veterans, and the disabled.

The resolution emphasizes the critical need to maintain SNAP funding, especially in light of the rising food insecurity in New Jersey, which has increased by 65% since the COVID-19 pandemic. While the General Assembly supports efforts to improve program efficiencies within SNAP, it firmly opposes any budgetary measures that would strip essential food and nutrition services from those in need. The resolution calls on the United States Senate to reject these proposed cuts and to ensure that SNAP remains a vital resource for food assistance in New Jersey.
