The bill amends existing laws to mandate that all public elementary and secondary schools in Rhode Island provide free breakfast and reimbursable lunches to all students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. This legislation removes previous language that limited eligibility to families meeting specific criteria established by federal and state regulations.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to expand breakfast and lunch programs, including the use of food preparation centers to deliver meals more efficiently. The act will take effect upon passage.
