Title: ●Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Agricultural Act of 2014 Non-Discretionary Provisions  
Abstract:

This final rule implements several non-discretionary provisions from the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the Farm Bill), and as such is being cleared as a final rule, without comments (i.e., Straight to Final). One provision was initially drafted as a single final rule titled, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Agricultural Act of 2014, Medical Marijuana Exclusion.  Under Section 4005, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is instructed to promulgate regulations to explicitly prohibit States from deducting medical marijuana costs from a household’s income for SNAP purposes.
