HB1176 February 6, 2013 Page3
2013 HOUSE HUMAN SERVICES HB 1176 2013 HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE MINUTES House Human Services Committee Fort Union Room, State Capitol HB 1176 January 21, 2013 Job # 17449 D Conference Committee Committee Clerk Signature Explanation or reason for introduction of bill/resolution:] Relating to eligibility for supplemental nutrition assistance and to temporary assistance for needy families programs. Minutes: timony#1, 2 Chairman Weisz: Opened the hearing on HB 1176. Rep. Kathy Hogan: Introduced and testified in support of the bill. (See Testimony #1) 0:00:33 - 0:03:16 The same situation could be charged as a felony in one court and with a deferred sentence in another court and there are significant differences in sentencing because this becomes a lifetime ban and that is one of my concerns. Some courts and judges are significantly more aggressive than others. Because of the severity of the band the consequence of the band on SNAP and TANF is almost more debilitating than some of the sentences. I am concerned about the mythology in which the information is obtained. Currently applicants are asked to ask if they have a felony band when they apply. If they lie they can get benefits. If they tell the truth there is a lifetime band. If the system catches them then they will have a lifetime violation but because we have a significant number of people who come from other states and there is no cross reference information, the people who are really having the lifetime band are the people who are being honest. The intent of this bill is to modifythe lifetime ban to recognize that a convicted drug felon has gone at least five years without an additional felony conviction.
