AN ACT RELATING TO EDUCATION -- FEDERAL AID

Summary

The legislation stops vendors who collect school lunch payments from charging profit‑making fees, limiting any allowed fee to 2% of the transaction. It also obligates the Rhode Island Department of Education to ensure every public school offers at least one no‑fee way to pay for meals and to set statewide disclosure rules. The goal is to make school‑meal payments more affordable and transparent for families.
