HB 1153 requires Tennessee local school districts to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students eligible for free or reduced-price meals under federal programs (like the National School Lunch Act). It mandates that districts establish these programs for qualifying students, defined by household income meeting federal criteria. The state would reimburse schools for meal costs after all applicable federal funds are applied, subject to available state funding. This applies to the 2025-2026 school year and beyond.
