New online and delivery rules for SNAP
This bill would require the Food and Nutrition Service to set online and delivery standards for retailers that accept SNAP within 18 months of enactment.

The delivery rules would aim to keep food safe and promote fair, safe working conditions for delivery workers, including paying prevailing wages.

Retailers that fail to meet the standards would lose SNAP authorization. They may reapply only after showing they meet the standards.
