AI Summary
This bill, the "No Shame at School Act of 2022", amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to make certification for free or reduced-price meals mandatory for certain students, and to reduce the stigma associated with unpaid school meal fees. Specifically, it requires local educational agencies to directly certify eligible students for free or reduced-price meals, and to provide application materials and encourage submission of applications for those who cannot be directly certified. The bill also prohibits overt identification of students with unpaid meal fees, restricts communications about unpaid fees to the students themselves, and prevents the withholding of educational opportunities or the use of debt collectors for unpaid fees. Additionally, it allows for retroactive reimbursement of meal claims when a student's eligibility is approved.
