AI Summary

This resolution addresses the potential funding cuts to the Local Food for Schools and Child Care (LFSCC) program, highlighting the significant economic and nutritional impacts of these cuts. Recognizing that over 30 million children nationwide eat school lunch daily and that healthy school meals contribute to academic achievement, the resolution emphasizes California's critical role in agricultural production, being the top agricultural state for over 60 consecutive years. The resolution opposes the Trump Administration's cancellation of over $70 million in anticipated LFSCC program funding for 2025, which could result in an estimated loss of more than $150 million in economic activity. The California Legislature calls on its Congressional Representatives to continue supporting investments in the LFSCC program and urges the President to work with Congress to support family farmers who produce fresh, locally sourced food for school meals. The resolution also instructs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of this resolution to key federal government officials, including the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, and California's representatives in Congress.
