Bill > HR4684

This bill, the Universal School Meals Program Act of 2019, aims to make breakfasts and lunches free for all children enrolled in participating schools. It eliminates reduced-price meals and requires schools to provide free meals to all students, with the federal government reimbursing schools for the cost. The bill also prohibits schools from collecting debt for unpaid meal charges and shaming or discriminating against children who receive free meals. Additionally, the bill establishes a Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children Program to provide food assistance during the summer months.
