Adopt the Hunger-Free Schools Act and provide for an appropriation

Summary

The bill creates a state‑wide Hunger‑Free Schools program that requires participating public and nonprofit private schools to serve eligible breakfast or lunch meals to students who qualify for reduced‑price federal nutrition benefits, at no cost to those students. The Department of Education will reimburse schools for the difference between the federal rate for a free meal and the rate for a reduced‑price meal. The measure aims to ease the financial burden on schools while ensuring low‑income students receive nutritious food during the school day.
