Free Breakfast & Lunch In Public Schools

This bill proposes to provide free breakfast and lunch for all students in public schools. It aims to ensure that no child goes hungry during school hours, regardless of their family's financial situation. This change would directly benefit students and their families by reducing the financial burden of providing meals at school.

The bill would affect all students in public schools, helping those who might not otherwise afford meals. Families with lower incomes would benefit the most, as they would no longer need to pay for these meals. Schools would also see potential benefits, such as improved student focus and performance.

Currently, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Finance Committee. As of April 13, 2026, the House Education Committee reported a passing version of the bill. The next steps involve further review and potential voting in the House. The bill has seen support from several co-sponsors and is moving through the legislative process.
