This bill aims to ensure that no one is required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to receive assistance from nutrition programs, such as those for women, infants, and children (WIC), supplemental nutrition assistance (SNAP), and school breakfast and lunch programs. This means access to these benefits will not depend on vaccination status, protecting food access for families and children in need.
