Vote

Requiring the Department of Health Services to seek any necessary waiver to prohibit the purchase of candy or soft drinks with FoodShare benefits.

Date of Vote: February 19, 2026

Chamber of Origin: House

This bill requires Wisconsin’s Department of Health Services to ask the federal government for permission to stop FoodShare benefits from being used to buy candy or soft drinks. If approved, this change would help ensure that public assistance supports healthier food choices for low-income families. The department must keep reapplying each year until permission is granted.
