What it does
This bill repeals sections 10101–10108 of a 2025 reconciliation act that modified nutrition programs. It restores nutrition law to its state before those sections took effect. The bill has 201 cosponsors, nearly all Democrats, suggesting it reverses cuts or restrictions to food assistance programs like SNAP or child nutrition.
Why we flagged it
The bill's sole function is to repeal specific sections of a reconciliation act and restore prior nutrition law. It is a direct legislative reversal, not a new program or appropriation.
What the text implies
- The bill does not specify which nutrition programs are affected (SNAP, WIC, school meals, etc.), making it impossible to assess the scope of restored benefits without access to the reconciliation act sections being repealed.
- Restoring 'provisions of law amended by those sections' may have unintended consequences if the reconciliation act made multiple, layered changes to the same statute; the restoration mechanism could create conflicts or gaps.
