What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No Hungry Kids in Schools Act," aims to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. It seeks to establish a statewide community eligibility option for certain special assistance payments. This option would be available for school years beginning on or after July 1, 2025. Under this program, a State agency must agree to provide funding from sources other than Federal funds. This funding would ensure local educational agencies receive the free reimbursement rate for 100 percent of meals served at applicable schools.
