GA HB60

Students eligible for reduced-price meals under federal and state guidelines would receive school lunch and breakfast at no cost, with the State Board of Education annually determining state funding needed to cover these meals

Local school systems with schools having an identified student percentage of at least 40% must establish school breakfast programs and participate in the USDA's Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the full four-year cycle

State reimbursement for school breakfast programs would match the federal reimbursement rate per eligible meal; if federal funding ceases, reimbursement continues at the most recent federal rate

Local school systems must maximize federal funding access by adopting CEP or other provisions that yield the most federal meal funding, and group schools when practicable to increase CEP eligibility

State Board of Education must establish nutritional standards meeting or exceeding federal requirements and encourage use of Georgia-grown produce, dairy, and poultry in school meal programs
