SB 921 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT IMPOSING A TAX ON SUGAR-SWEETENED BEVERAGES AND DEDICATING THE REVENUE GENERATED TO FUND SCHOOL BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PROGRAMS.

SB 921 would impose a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (like sodas and energy drinks) sold in the state. The revenue generated from this tax would be dedicated exclusively to fund free breakfast and lunch programs for all public school students, regardless of their family's income level. The bill directly affects beverage manufacturers (who pay the tax) and all public school students (who would receive the meals at no cost). This policy change aims to create universal access to school meals by redirecting tax revenue from a specific industry.
