Congressional Disapproval of Anti-Discrimination Rule in Federal Food Programs.

This resolution seeks to nullify a rule issued by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) that extended anti-discrimination protections in federal food assistance programs (like SNAP) to include sexual orientation and gender identity. If passed, citizens relying on federal nutrition aid would lose these specific, defined legal safeguards against discrimination when accessing benefits.
Key points
Congress aims to block the rule that provided protection against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in federal nutrition programs.
Voiding this rule means that the process for handling discrimination complaints regarding food benefits will revert to the policy status before May 2022.
