Republican SNAP Bills Spark Debate
Concerns Raised Over Accessibility and Effectiveness of Proposed SNAP Bills Rules
According to EA Courier, two Republican proposals in Arizona’s state Legislature are causing arguments about how they might affect people who need help buying food. These SNAP bills led by Rep. Leo Biasiucci want to make people who get SNAP benefits have to work or do training. They also want to stop the Arizona Department of Economic Security from asking for exceptions to these rules for certain people. Some say these rules will encourage people to work but others worry it will be hard for people in rural areas or with disabilities to meet these requirements.
