Plain-English Summary (AI-assisted)
This bill would amend federal child nutrition laws to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students in U.S. schools, regardless of family income. Currently, only students from low-income families qualify for free or reduced-price meals; this change would extend the benefit universally.
