establish parameters for the reimbursement of school districts that provide free or reduced-price meals to students.

Summary

HB 1082 changes state law so districts cannot charge students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. It also directs the Department of Education to pay districts for those meal costs, using money from the general fund, after subtracting any federal reimbursements. This helps districts cover expenses while keeping meals free for eligible students.
