Bill > S1420

This bill, called the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025, amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to increase reimbursement rates for meals served under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that provides an additional 10-cent reimbursement 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 the existing law, such as fixing a spelling error (changing "consulation" to "consultation") and adjusting the language related to reimbursement calculations for family or group day care home sponsoring organizations. The bill aims to provide more financial support to child care providers participating in the CACFP, which helps ensure that children receive nutritious meals in day care settings. By increasing reimbursement rates, the bill seeks to support the nutritional needs of children and potentially ease financial burdens on child care providers.
