Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill, known as the "New Jersey Healthy SNAP Act," requires the state's Department of Human Services to ask the federal government for permission to stop people from buying soft drinks with SNAP benefits. If approved, the state would then ban the purchase of soft drinks, defined as non-alcoholic beverages with added sweeteners, using SNAP funds. The state would also need to develop a plan to enforce this rule and educate recipients about healthier choices.
