Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to improve direct certification, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The School MEALS Act of 2023 modifies the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act, which governs the federal school lunch program serving meals to students. The bill focuses on improving direct certification, a process that automatically enrolls eligible students in free or reduced-price lunch without requiring families to fill out applications. The bill is sponsored by Senators Robert Casey and John Fetterman and is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but not yet assigned to for review.
