senate 09/30/2025 - 119th Congress
We’re working to ensure that every student who qualifies for free or reduced-price meals is automatically certified, and to eliminate the shame or stigma related to unpaid school meal fees by prohibiting any form of public identification or discrimination. Our goal is to support kids' dignity while making sure they have access to nutritious meals at school.

Stigma or not, families owe their bills—mandatory certification feels like a bureaucratic babysitter.

This bill’s a practical fix; no more fees stealing lunch from learning, simple as that.
