The bill preserves current SNAP rules and avoids new administrative costs while cutting certain appropriations—saving federal funds and protecting current recipients but stopping any planned SNAP expansions and reducing funds for ICE and other programs, which may weaken enforcement and disrupt entities expecting those funds.
Low-income households will keep existing SNAP eligibility and rules because the bill restores prior Food and Nutrition Act provisions, preventing immediate loss of current benefits.
Taxpayers face reduced federal spending on ICE-related programs because the bill rescinds unobligated balances and cancels the increased appropriations from the repealed provisions.
State governments avoid the administrative burden and costs of implementing the One Big Beautiful Bill's SNAP changes because the bill preserves the prior statutory framework.
Low-income households that would have benefited from any expansions or reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill may lose out because the bill undoes those intended SNAP expansions.

Introduced March 18, 2026 by Shontel M. Brown · Last progress March 18, 2026
Repeals two provisions of Public Law 119–21 that increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and rescinds any unobligated balances from those increases. Also reverses a subtitle of that law that changed SNAP rules, restoring the prior Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program rules as if that subtitle had never been enacted; the rescission of balances applies as of the day before this Act's enactment.
