AI Summary
This bill appropriates $43 million from the State General Fund to the Nevada State Department of Agriculture in both fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, specifically to award grants to school districts for providing universal free breakfast and lunch to pupils across Nevada. The funding is time-limited, meaning any unspent money must be returned to the State General Fund by September 18, 2026 (for the first fiscal year) and September 17, 2027 (for the second fiscal year), and cannot be committed for expenditure after June 30 of the respective fiscal years. The bill aims to ensure that all Nevada school children can receive free meals regardless of their family's income, which can help reduce food insecurity, improve student nutrition, and eliminate potential stigma associated with free or reduced-price meal programs. The appropriation will take effect on July 1, 2025, allowing school districts to plan and implement the universal free meal program for the upcoming school years.
