What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Ending Restaurant Purchases with SNAP Act of 2026. It was introduced in the House of Representatives by Mr. Gill of Texas and several other members. The main purpose of the bill is to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to completely abolish the restaurant meals program under the supplemental nutrition assistance program. The legislation removes references to private establishments contracting with state agencies to offer meals at concessional prices. It also removes restaurants participating in state option restaurant programs that were intended to serve the elderly, disabled, and homeless. The bill states that these changes will take effect 180 days after the date of the enactment of the Act.
