Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Tarwater:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2770 by House Committee on Child Welfare and Foster
Care
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2770 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2770 would create the Kansas Food and Financial Literacy Grant Program to be
administered by the Department for Children and Families (DCF). This program would assist
local service providers to develop food and financial literacy materials for food assistance
applicants and recipients. Grantees would be required to make materials and training opportunities
free for applicants and recipients. The bill would also create the Kansas Food and Financial
Literacy Grant Program Fund.
According to DCF, enactment of HB 2770 would have no fiscal effect on the agency.
Currently, DCF receives an annual Federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Education grant. The grant totaled $2.7 million in federal fiscal year 2023 and these funds are
used to provide the services outlined in HB 2770. Additionally, SNAP Outreach grants are
awarded using SNAP funds.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
