Requires public schools to post link to subsidized school meals application in prominent place on Internet website.
This bill requires all New Jersey public schools to prominently display a link to the free and reduced-price school meals application on their official websites. It directly affects public schools, which must add this link to a visible location on their online platforms. The provision supplements existing law by mandating website accessibility for the application, which parents use to determine eligibility for the National School Lunch Program and federal School Breakfast Program benefits. The requirement takes effect immediately upon enactment.
