(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, a person who is otherwise eligible to receive public assistance, including supplemental nutrition assistance, or medical assistance may not be denied assistance because the person has been convicted of a drug-related felony.

(3) When making a recommendation to the department regarding the continuation or suspension of a person's supplemental nutrition assistance, a supervising authority shall consider, at a minimum, whether there is reason to believe:

(a) That the person traded the person's supplemental nutrition assistance for controlled substances; and

(b) That, as a result of the trading, a member of the person's household who is a dependent of the person did not receive the supplemental nutrition assistance for which the member is eligible.

(4) The department shall reinstate the supplemental nutrition assistance of a person whose benefits were suspended under subsection (2) of this section if the department receives a recommendation from the supervising authority to reinstate the benefits pursuant to subsection (5) of this section.

(5) When making a recommendation to the department regarding the reinstatement of supplemental nutrition assistance, the supervising authority shall consider, at a minimum, the following:
