This bill mandates that public schools in New Jersey must prominently display a link to the subsidized school meals application on their websites. This requirement is in addition to existing obligations outlined in section 16 of P.L.2022, c.104 (C.18A:33-21b1). The subsidized school meals application is crucial for determining eligibility for the National School Lunch Program, the federal School Breakfast Program, and any state supplements to these programs.
By ensuring that the application link is easily accessible, the bill aims to facilitate the process for parents and guardians to apply for these essential meal programs each school year. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
