Bill > SB2389

This bill requires each local school board and public charter school governing body to provide free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students. The state will reimburse the local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools for the cost of providing these free meals after applying all available federal funds. It also makes some changes to the rules governing school meal programs. The bill specifies that it is not an appropriation of funds, and funds cannot be obligated or expended unless the general appropriations act provides specific funding. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2024 and applies to the 2024-2025 school year and each school year thereafter.
