Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
The SNAP Study Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of Agriculture to submit annual reports to Congress analyzing food security and diet quality across the United States, with specific focus on how SNAP (food stamps) affects both participants and non-participants. The report must summarize all legislative and executive branch changes made to SNAP each year, evaluate whether those changes actually improved food security and nutrition outcomes, and provide policy recommendations to Congress for further improvements. The law applies to all Americans affected by food insecurity and nutrition issues, whether they use SNAP benefits or not. The Secretary must submit the first report within one year of the law taking effect, then annually thereafter. The bill takes effect 180 days after it becomes law, giving the Department of Agriculture time to establish reporting procedures and begin data collection.
