The bill H. 4810 aims to amend the South Carolina Code of Laws by adding a new section, 11-9-150, which prohibits the use of state funds appropriated or authorized by the General Assembly for the purchase of food or drink products unless those products are eligible for purchase with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. This measure is intended to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent on food and drink items that meet the nutritional standards set by the SNAP program.

If enacted, this legislation would apply to all state agencies, departments, and institutions, thereby creating a uniform policy regarding food and drink purchases with state funds. The bill is currently residing in the House Committee on Ways and Means and will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
