Show Notes
Arizona Republicans propose controversial amendments to House Bill twenty-seven twenty-eight, initially a simple measure to extend the Department of Economic Securitys operations. The amendments, passed on a party-line vote, include stricter payment error targets for SNAP benefits, tougher work requirements for unemployment and food aid, and limits on certain snack purchases with benefits. Republicans argue these changes will address agency weaknesses and ensure federal compliance, while Democrats criticize the move as harmful during high living costs and potentially booting people off aid. The bill has cleared a Senate committee and is headed to the full chamber, with a likely veto from the governor, restarting the process for the basic extension.
