Assembly Bill 1027 mandates that the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) compile and share specific data related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), known as FoodShare in Wisconsin, with the federal Food and Nutrition Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This data must be provided within six months of the bill becoming law and includes information on individuals who have received, are currently receiving, or have applied for food stamp benefits since January 1, 2020. The requirement is in response to a letter from the federal Department of Agriculture dated July 23, 2025, and is intended to implement an executive order issued by the President of the United States.

The bill emphasizes the collaboration between state and federal governments in administering the food stamp program, where the federal government funds the benefits while both levels of government share the administrative costs. The legislation aims to enhance data transparency and compliance with federal requirements regarding food assistance programs.
