New federal law threatens food access for Minnesotans

The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (P.L. 119-21) passed on July 3 and signed July 4 cuts more than $120 billion from SNAP over 10 years, putting food security and state stability at risk. This bill threatens food security for seniors, working families, and children across Minnesota.
