SB 3372

Amends the Administration Article of the Illinois Public Aid Code. Requires the Department of Human Services to reduce the risk of SNAP recipients becoming the victims of benefits fraud by transitioning to and issuing as soon as practicable electronic benefits transfer (EBT) cards embedded with a smart chip or Near Field Communication technology that enables cardholders to make a payment transaction by either inserting an EBT card into a card reader or by "tapping"" an EBT card onto a payment terminal or card reader that is enabled to accept and process contactless payments."
