Discounted groceries for Nevada SNAP recipients

The law requires Nevada to create a discounted surplus food program for SNAP recipients, as funding allows. Its plan must use technology to reduce food waste and direct food toward areas needing affordable, healthier groceries. The plan must also address food insecurity and improve seniors’ access to food. Nevada must seek any needed federal approval, including waivers. The law puts $5 million into a dedicated account used only for this program. The account can accept gifts, grants, and other money; interest and unspent year-end money stay in the account. The law takes effect upon passage and approval.
