Universal Free Breakfast and Lunch.

Summary

The bill rewrites state nutrition statutes so local school food authorities must provide two meals per day—breakfast and lunch—at no cost to students, to the extent practicable. The State Board of Education will allocate funds each fiscal year based on school size, eligibility rates, prior spending and nutrition quality. An initial $116 million in recurring funds begins in the 2026‑27 school year, with additional state aid available if needed.
