Ending Restaurant Purchases with SNAP Act of 2026

This bill would end the restaurant meals program under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It removes language from the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 that lets private establishments, such as restaurants, contract with state agencies to offer meals at reduced prices to certain SNAP recipients, including elderly, disabled, and homeless people. It also removes the state option for running such a restaurant program and related rules about equipment for restaurants in that program. The changes would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.
