What it does
The RESTORE Act of 2025 would amend federal law to allow individuals with past drug-related convictions to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, removing current federal restrictions that deny eligibility based on such offenses. It would also modify SNAP rules to include incarcerated individuals scheduled for release within 30 days as part of a household for benefit determination purposes. The bill applies nationwide and would override any conflicting state laws, policies, or regulations that currently impose SNAP eligibility barriers based on drug convictions.
