Summary

The bill changes Minnesota’s school‑meal rules so that only students whose families earn 500 % or less of the federal poverty guidelines can receive state‑funded free lunches. It also requires schools to adopt written policies that prevent lunch‑shaming and to post those policies online. In addition, the measure creates a school wellness and resiliency aid program and expands grants for school‑linked behavioral health services.
