House Republicans’ sprawling domestic policy bill would force parents of children between the ages of 7 and 18 to work for nutritional benefits, but it includes a provision to ensure that married, stay-at-home parents continue to receive them.
The House Agriculture Committee released the legislative text for its part of the “One, Big Beautiful Bill” that Republicans hope to pass by the summer. Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to use the bill to extend the tax cuts President Donald Trump signed in 2017, ramp up spending on oil exploration and for immigration enforcement, particularly along the US-Mexico border.
