RELATING TO SCHOOL MEALS.

HB 87 requires all public schools to provide free breakfast and lunch to every enrolled student starting the 2025-2026 school year. The bill directly affects all public school students in the state and mandates that the state appropriates funding to cover these meal costs. Key provisions include eliminating meal fees for students and ensuring schools receive state funds to support the program. This policy change shifts meal costs from families to state resources beginning in the 2025-2026 school year.
