House Passes Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act
Today, the House passed The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (S. 3307). The bill now heads to President Obama for signature, which he is expected to do quickly. The passage of this bill was accompanied by a strengthened commitment by President Obama, made during meetings with House Democrats prior to the vote, to fix the SNAP cut contained in the bill. A number of the speakers on behalf of the bill on the House floor referenced the need to restore the SNAP cut.
