A 4951 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires State to reimburse federally unreimbursed costs of snacks provided to children at certain preschools; appropriates $100,000.

This bill creates a Preschool Snack Reimbursement Grant Program to reimburse New Jersey public preschools for snack costs incurred while awaiting federal approval to participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). It specifically targets federally unapproved participant preschools (those with pending federal CACFP applications) and requires the state to cover costs for free snacks provided to all enrolled preschoolers during the application review period. The bill appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Agriculture for this purpose, to be deposited into the existing "Nourishing Young Minds Initiative Fund." This reimbursement covers costs that would otherwise remain uncovered by federal funding during the waiting period for CACFP approval.
