This amendment
eliminates the General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) by $500,000 in fiscal year 2016-17 by removing the
requirement to restrict the use of benefits on the electronic benefits card
(EBT) by recipients of temporary assistance for needy families on specific
items and activities by blocking prohibited purchases through electronic
means.
The amendment also changes a committee to a feasibility group and removes
authority to provide advice to the DHHS and requires the DHHS to inititiate
an administrative hearing if it finds the recipient has purchased prohibited
items. These changes do not impact the estimated cost of this bill. |
