Requires certain nonpublic schools to provide meals to all students under "Working Class Families Anti-Hunger Act"; authorizes limited expansion of income eligibility to qualify public and nonpublic school students for free lunch.

Maddy summaryThis bill requires certain nonpublic schools in New Jersey to provide free meals to all enrolled students, expanding access beyond current federal eligibility rules. It specifically allows middle-income families (with household incomes up to 2241% of the federal poverty level) to qualify for free school meals, rather than only those meeting strict federal income thresholds. The law directly affects students attending participating nonpublic schools, particularly those from families who previously did not qualify for subsidized meals. It modifies how schools determine eligibility, aligning with state-level income standards to simplify access to free lunch programs.
