In the legislation that the House is now considering, there are provisions that have been included to ensure that the two existing Smart Card programs that are currently in place, those being Ohio and Wyoming, will not be forced to make any changes that would result in either new or additional expenses for the States. Ohio and Wyoming can continue using their Smart Cards until the Secretary determines that a practicable technological method is available for interoperability between electronic benefit transfer Smart Card systems and the magnetic stripe card systems that most other States are using. Furthermore, the legislation provides safeguards so that these off-line programs are not jeopardized in any way.
