Bill > HB1139

This bill, titled the "Leave No Georgia Child Hungry Act," aims to amend Georgia's education laws to provide free, quality, and healthy meals to all public school students enrolled in after-school or summer school programs. The State Board of Education will determine the state funding needed for this statewide program, which will supplement federal funds. The Board will also establish nutritional requirements, require local education agencies to submit compliance plans, and assist with obtaining start-up grants. Local education agencies are encouraged to establish these meal programs, and the state will reimburse them based on the Board's policies and regulations, subject to legislative appropriations.
