Bill > HB112

This bill requires all public schools in Missouri to provide one free breakfast and one free lunch to every student during the 2025-26 school year and in subsequent years. The legislation specifically mandates that these free meals must be offered daily to any student who is attending classes, ensuring that all public school students have access to nutritious meals at no cost to their families. By amending Chapter 191 of the Missouri Revised Statutes and adding a new section (191.824), the bill aims to address potential food insecurity and ensure that students can focus on learning without worrying about obtaining meals during the school day. The definition of "public school" would be based on the existing definition in section 160.011 of Missouri's statutes, which would likely include traditional public schools across the state.
