- State Policies and Waivers to Amend Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Eligible Food in 2025. [Journal Article]Am J Prev Med. 2026 Jul 14; :108486. [Online ahead of print]AJ
- CONCLUSIONS: The majority of state activity focused on sugar-sweetened beverages and candy. Although bills were proposed by states with diverse political party make-ups, activities with the force of law (laws, executive orders, and U.S. Department of Agriculture waivers) were predominantly passed or issued by Republican trifectas (when the governor and both legislative houses are of the same political party), with 2 waivers granted to Democratic trifectas. The waivers' evaluation requirements are essential to understanding the impacts of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program food-eligibility exclusions.
