CO HB1080

Removes language requiring the eligibility threshold for the breakfast after the bell program to decrease from 80% to 70% of students eligible for free or reduced-cost lunch beginning in the 2015-2016 school year.

Maintains the 80% eligibility threshold as the permanent requirement for public schools to participate in the program, beginning with the 2014-2015 school year and continuing each year thereafter.

Allows schools that fall below the 80% threshold for two consecutive years to voluntarily continue participating in the program but removes the requirement to do so.

Exempts public and charter schools that do not participate in the school lunch program from being required to participate in the breakfast after the bell program.

Takes effect August 5, 2015, or upon voter approval if a referendum petition is filed within 90 days of final adjournment.
