A proposed federal measure aims to eliminate costs for school meals across the country, building on existing programs that already provide free breakfast and lunch to millions of students. The legislation would extend universal free meal access to all public school children, regardless of household income, removing financial barriers that currently limit participation. Supporters argue the policy would reduce food insecurity while easing administrative burdens for schools, though funding and implementation details remain under discussion. The push comes as lawmakers weigh broader education and nutrition priorities amid ongoing debates over federal spending.
