Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and three Democrats who sit on the House Agriculture Committee today told anti-hunger advocates they must lobby against the House farm bill provision that would stop any future.
The Farm Bill advancing in the U.S. House would lift the 28-year ban on felons with drug-related convictions receiving SNAP benefits. Ex-offenders and prison advocates say this will make rehabilitation and returning to life after incarceration easier.
Congress is moving with bipartisan consensus towards ending a ban on felons with drug-related convictions receiving food stamps – a policy seen by ex-offenders and their advocates as an obstacle to reentering society.
