"Naples Republican Rep. Richard Cebra's bill says an applicant for state assistance under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, the MaineCare program or the food stamp program must be a legal resident of the United States and a resident of Maine.

A separate bill before the committee imposes a 90-day residency requirement in order to receive MaineCare, the statewide food supplement program, TANF program and municipal general assistance."

The "statewide food supplement program" IS food stamps.
