Bill > HB915

This bill establishes a Child and Adult Care Food Program Supplement within the Pennsylvania Public School Code, designed to provide additional financial reimbursements to eligible care facilities that serve meals to enrollees through the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program. The supplement aims to help facilities improve their ability to serve more enrollees and enhance care and educational opportunities, with different criteria for nonprofit/emergency shelters and for-profit organizations. The Department of Education will administer the program by developing rules, requesting applications from facilities, and awarding funding based on the facility's demonstrated ability to better serve food and support enrollees. Facilities must show how the supplemental funding helps them expand their services or improve their fiscal stability. The department is required to prioritize funding to maximize the number of enrollees receiving nutritious meals. An annual report must be submitted by June 1st each year to various state legislative committees and the Governor, detailing program participation, meal service, and projected funding needs. The bill will take effect 60 days after its enactment, providing a structured approach to supporting child and adult care food programs across Pennsylvania.
