Digest
HB 5461 imposes reductions in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for parents convicted of parental truancy offenses under the Education Code. A second conviction results in a 25% reduction, a third conviction reduces benefits by 50%, and a fourth conviction results in ineligibility. Courts must provide written warnings about these consequences.
