School nutrition: guardian meal reimbursement.

Summary

The bill directs the California Department of Education to pay summer meal program operators for meals given to guardians of eligible students, once state funds are appropriated. It defines who qualifies as a guardian and an eligible pupil, sets reporting requirements, and may seek a federal waiver to secure additional reimbursement. The measure also makes a minor edit to the definition of “taxable year” in the tax code.
