Referred: Emerging Issues(H)
Summary
The bill would set up the Missouri Free School Meals Program, which reimburses schools for the difference between federal free‑meal rates and what they actually receive, so all students get a free breakfast and lunch each day. It applies to any public, charter, private, religious or parochial school that already participates in the USDA National School Lunch Program. The measure aims to guarantee universal school meals without charging families.
