School Lunch Debt Cancellation Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 993, also known as the "School Meal Debt Cancellation and Nutrition Assistance Expansion Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to address the issue of school meal debt and expand nutrition assistance programs.

The bill would require the Secretary of Agriculture to cancel existing school meal debt, which is the amount of money that students owe for meals they have already consumed. This would help alleviate financial burdens on families and ensure that all students have access to nutritious meals at school.

Additionally, the bill seeks to expand the authority of the Commodity Credit Corporation, a government entity that supports agricultural producers, to be used in nutrition assistance programming. This would allow for more resources to be allocated towards programs that provide food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Overall, the School Meal Debt Cancellation and Nutrition Assistance Expansion Act aims to improve access to healthy meals for students and support those in need of food assistance.
