What this bill does
H.R. 4939, the SNAP Study Act of 2025, would require the Secretary of Agriculture to submit an annual report to Congress on food security and diet quality in the United States. The bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to add a new section directing that this report include an analysis of food security and diet quality among both participants and nonparticipants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a summary and impact analysis of any legislative or executive branch changes made to SNAP during the year that were intended to improve food security and diet quality, and recommendations to Congress for improving those outcomes for both SNAP participants and nonparticipants.
The bill primarily affects the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which would be tasked with producing the annual report, and the relevant congressional committees—the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry and the House Committee on Agriculture—which would receive it. Indirectly, it affects policymakers seeking data on SNAP's effectiveness, though it does not change SNAP eligibility, benefits, or funding.
The bill was introduced on August 8, 2025, by Rep. Keith Self and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture. It has not yet been voted on. If enacted, its provisions would take effect 180 days after enactment, with the first report due one year after that effective date.
