ALBANY, NEW YORK - ALBANY, N.Y. - A New York state lawmaker wants to block
the use of food stamps for "luxury" items like high-end steaks, lobster and
junk food.
Sen. Patty Ritchie, R-Oswegatchie, St. Lawrence County, introduced a bill
Wednesday that would further restrict the types of purchases that can be
made through the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly
referred to as the food stamp program.
Ritchie's bill would target what she calls "luxury food items," blocking
food stamp recipients from using their benefits to purchase certain foods
that are either high-end or not nutritious.The legislation would require the
state Office of Temporarily Disability Assistance to come up with a list of
prohibited items.
But the bill's memo lays out some examples: lobster, certain steaks,
decorated cakes and energy drinks, to name a few.
"At a time when our state and nation are struggling with an obesity epidemic
, it is critically important that taxpayer-funded programs help low-income
consumers make wise and healthy food choices," according to the bill memo.
Restrictions on the type of purchases that can be made with welfare benefits
have been popular among conservatives, including in New York, where
Republican lawmakers have pushed to restrict where benefit recipients can
take out cash with their EBT cards.
But such restrictions have been opposed by Democrats in the Legislature, who
say they unfairly target the low-income people who rely on public benefits.
So the bill likely doesn't have much of a future in the Democrat-controlled
Assembly, where it hasn't yet been introduced.
In 2014, the state budget restricted the use of public benefits for the
purchase of alcohol and tobacco. Those restrictions were required by the
federal government.
