Study on SNAP Ban's Impact on Drug Felons Post-Incarceration
This act mandates a study to evaluate how the current ban on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits affects individuals convicted of drug felonies after their release from prison. The goal is to understand whether this ban helps or hinders their reintegration into society and how it impacts their lives, finances, and families. The study's findings will help assess the effectiveness of current regulations.
