Require that the Department of Social Services submit a federal waiver request to exclude soft drinks from the supplemental nutrition assistance program.

House BillSydney Davis(R)Taylor Rehfeldt(R)Introduced Jan 14, 2026Last action Feb 25, 2026

South Dakota would require its Department of Social Services to ask the federal government for permission to ban soft drinks from the state's food assistance program (SNAP), with soft drinks defined as sweetened non-alcoholic drinks but excluding milk, milk substitutes, and certain approved juices. If the federal government approves the waiver, the state must implement the ban within six months; if denied, the department must keep resubmitting the request every year until approved. This is a new requirement—there is currently no state law mandating such a waiver request.
