relative to the responsibility of local school districts to provide meals to students during school hours, reimbursing schools for meals provided to students at no cost, and making an appropriation therefor.

The biennium end date for both appropriations ($107,000 for administrative costs and $250,000 for software reimbursement) was changed from June 30, 2026 to June 30, 2027. This fixes a timing error that would have made the funds unavailable since the bill takes effect July 1, 2026.

The fiscal note now shows $357,000 in appropriations for FY 2027 (previously shown as $0), reflecting that the funding is now properly allocated within a valid biennium period.

Fiscal note language identifying a 'technical error' in the appropriation section and stating that no funding would be available for personnel or software under the bill as written was removed, since the error has been corrected.
