View Bill Information

Session Year 2025

Overview: Section 2A.8 of S.L. 2025‑89 (House Bill 125) requires local boards of education operating school nutrition programs to provide school meals at no cost to students who qualify for reduced‑price meals under the federal National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program. If funds from alternate sources are insufficient to cover these costs, the Department of Public Instruction can use funds appropriated to the State Aid for Public Schools Fund for this purpose. Additionally, this section repeals a similar uncodified provision that only applied to the 2023‑2024 biennium.

This section became effective July 1, 2025.
