Bill > HR5753

This bill, known as the "Healthy Meals Help Kids Learn Act of 2025," aims to increase federal reimbursement rates for school meals in order to support nutrition programs in schools. Specifically, the bill will provide an additional 45 cents per lunch and 28 cents per breakfast served to students, starting on November 1, 2025. These additional reimbursement amounts will be applied to all school food authorities, regardless of their performance, and will be automatically adjusted annually beginning July 1, 2026, in line with existing provisions of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The bill amends two key pieces of legislation: the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, with the goal of helping schools provide more nutritious meals and support student learning by ensuring schools have adequate funding for meal programs. This additional funding could help schools cover rising food costs, improve meal quality, and potentially reduce financial strain on school nutrition programs.
