SF806

Senate Bill SF No. 806 has been proposed in Minnesota to regulate the use of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards by staff members at licensed residential programs. The bill states that staff members can only use an EBT card to purchase food on behalf of a resident if they are specifically authorized to do so by being listed as an authorized representative of the resident. Additionally, the residential program must keep a detailed log of all purchases made by the staff with the resident's EBT card, and maintain records of these purchases according to specific legal requirements. This bill aims to ensure proper oversight and accountability when EBT cards are used by someone other than the cardholder.
