Bill > HB2317

This bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to establish the Child and Adult Care Food Program Supplement, which will provide supplemental financial reimbursements to eligible care facilities that serve meals and snacks to enrollees. The Department of Education will administer the supplement, which is funded by a $30 million annual appropriation from the General Fund. The supplement aims to help facilities better serve food to additional enrollees and support the fiscal stability and educational opportunities of nonprofit, emergency shelter, and for-profit facilities. The department will prioritize funding to maximize the number of fully nourished enrollees and submit an annual report on the program and supplement.
