INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE BROWN (116).

AN ACT
To amend chapter 208, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to food stamps assistance.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 208, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 208.021, to read as follows:
208.021. 1. Pursuant to the option granted the state by 7 U.S.C. Section 2015(f):
(1) The income and financial resources of an individual who was rendered ineligible to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance program prior to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, as amended, due to such individual's immigration status and who remains ineligible to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance program due to such status shall be considered in determining the eligibility and the value of the allotment of the household of which such individual is a member as specified under the categories given to states in 7 CFR Part 273.11(c)(3); and
(2) The income and financial resources of an individual rendered ineligible to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance program due to such individual's immigrant status shall not be considered in determining the eligibility and the value of the allotment of the household of which such individual is a member. The resulting benefit amount for eligible members shall be capped at the allotment amount the household would have received if the ineligible household member had been included as specified under the categories given to states in 7 CFR Part 273.11(c)(3).
2. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010 that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536, to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2012, shall be invalid and void.
