Bill > HR2859

This bill amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to enhance reimbursements under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), a federal program that provides nutritional support for children and adults in daycare settings. The bill, titled the "Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025," introduces a uniform additional reimbursement of 10 cents for each meal and supplement served under the program, starting from the first month after the bill's enactment. The legislation also makes technical corrections to existing language, such as fixing a spelling error from "consulation" to "consultation" and adjusting references to different subsections of the law. The changes apply to both center-based and family or group day care home sponsoring organizations, ensuring that they receive the additional reimbursement. By increasing reimbursement rates, the bill aims to support food service providers and potentially improve the quality and nutritional value of meals served in child care settings.
