The Trump Administration is refusing to fund SNAP benefits beginning Nov. 1. No family should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from because Republicans are playing political games in Washington, D.C. Fund SNAP now.

Mobile home residents can be left high & dry when property owners decide to sell the land underneath their homes. But HB 426 would require the owner to notify residents of plans to sell the park & give residents priority in purchasing the property if they can meet the price & terms of a third-party.
