CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2527

Introduced by Assembly Member Nazarian

February 19, 2020

An act relating to school meals.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2527, as introduced, Nazarian. Free school breakfast: nonschoolaged children.

Existing law requires a school district, county superintendent of schools, or charter school maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to provide a needy pupil with one nutritionally adequate free or reduced-price meal during each schoolday, and authorizes a school district or county office of education to use funds available from any federal program, including the federal School Breakfast Program, to comply with that requirement. Existing law generally requires a school district or a county superintendent of schools to provide breakfast and lunch free of charge to all pupils at a very high poverty school, as defined.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would establish a pathway for eligible nonschoolaged children to obtain free school breakfast in order to ensure that nonschoolaged children are not left without a meal.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would establish a pathway for eligible nonschoolaged children to obtain free school breakfast in order to ensure that nonschoolaged children are not left without a meal.
