(Photo by Cami Koons\/Iowa Capital Dispatch)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><em>By Cami Koons,<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>The Iowa House Health and Human Services Committee voted 14-6 to advance a bill that would allocate $1 million to the Double Up Food Bucks program, if federal food assistance for Iowans is limited to healthy food purchases only.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Most food insecurity groups opposed the bill and urged lawmakers to separate the funding for the Double Up Food Bucks program, which allows Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients to double their spending on fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\r\n<p>Rep. Rob Johnson, D-Des Moines, urged his colleagues to vote no on the bill and to separate the Double Up Food Bucks allocation from the restrictions on SNAP.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI do not believe that this bill will accomplish what we are trying to accomplish,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI really urge us to take a step back on this one.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.iowa.gov\/legislation\/BillBook?ba=HSB216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">House Study Bill 216<\/a> would conditionally grant $1 million to the Double Up Food bucks program, if the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services can get a waiver from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to limit SNAP eligible foods.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The version of the bill House lawmakers <a href=\"https:\/\/iowacapitaldispatch.com\/2025\/02\/26\/iowa-house-wants-to-limit-snap-food-eligibility-to-help-iowans-eat-better\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">advanced last week from subcommittee<\/a> had a specific list of \u201creal\u201d foods that would be on the waiver and prioritized whole foods.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>The bill was amended Monday to remove the specified list of foods and instead direct DHHS to seek a waiver to limit SNAP eligibility to \u201chealthy foods based on necessary nutrition for good health\u201d according to Rep. Carter Nordman, R-Panora, who managed the bill.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Nordman said the bill incentivizes healthy eating habits and noted Iowa\u2019s obesity and child obesity rates and the associated risk factors.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/data-and-statistics\/adult-obesity-prevalence-maps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>, obesity is present in nearly 38% of Iowans, and approximately 15% of youth in Iowa have obesity, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofchildhoodobesity.org\/state-data\/?state=IA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">State of Childhood Obesity<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThis bill is not about policing what people are eating \u2026 it\u2019s about helping those who are in need, with taxpayer dollars, while ensuring what is being purchased is nutritional, necessary and appropriate,\u201d Nordman said.<\/p>\r\n<p>Luke Elzinga, policy and advocacy manager with Des Moines Area Religious Council and board chair of the Iowa Hunger Coalition, said even with the \u201cvague\u201d amendment, he still believes the bill would be \u201cpolicing people\u2019s food options.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Rep. Tracy Ehlert, D-Cedar Rapids, opposed the bill and recalled her personal experience relying on SNAP as a single mother while finishing her college education and working multiple jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t imagine having to try to work around the parameters that are in this bill, the extra time, the extra planning, the potential embarrassment at the checkout counter,\u201d Ehlert said. \u201cSNAP is not a handout. It gives people like me and my family a hand up.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>In the subcommittee on the bill, lobbyists from grocery store associations brought up the difficulty many stores would have in complying with the restrictions if they differed from the federal regulations. Elzinga said the extra hassle could lead some stores to stop accepting SNAP all together.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Ehlert also noted the difficulty of feeding special needs children who she said will often only eat very specific, sometimes unhealthy options.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Nordman said the bill still allows for things like \u201cchicken nuggets, grilled cheese and mac and cheese.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe idea that this is so limited and there\u2019s going to be so few options, I think, is false,\u201d Nordman said.<\/p>\r\n<p>The bill will be safe from the first funnel deadline on Friday. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legis.iowa.gov\/legislation\/BillBook?ga=91&amp;ba=SF%20232\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Senate bill<\/a> that would appropriate $1 million for the Double Up Food Bucks program, without the conditional SNAP eligibility waiver, has also advanced out of committee.<\/p>\r\n<p><em>\u00a9Copyright 2024, Iowa Capital Dispatch.
