Bill > LB627

This bill, called the Free Student Meals Act, would require all qualified schools in Nebraska to offer free breakfasts and lunches to all students during the school day. The bill defines key terms like "eligible breakfast/lunch," "federal reimbursement rate," and "qualified school." It establishes a grant program administered by the State Department of Education to reimburse schools for the cost of providing these free meals, based on the number of fully paid breakfasts and lunches served. The bill also repeals existing sections of Nebraska law related to school breakfast program reimbursements.
