Summary

The bill would mandate that every public K‑12 school in Florida participate in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. Schools must offer lunch to all students regardless of payment ability, and provide free breakfast unless a parent opts out. Districts could collect lunch payments but may not use third‑party debt collectors, and the state would reimburse districts for each breakfast served.
