A 3260 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Department of Agriculture in consultation with DOE, to establish Internet-based school meals application.*

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Agriculture, working with the Department of Education, to create a single online application system for students to apply for the National School Lunch Program and school breakfast programs. School districts and participating nonprofit nonpublic schools must make this online application available to families, while still offering paper applications. Schools already using their own online systems have one year after the bill's passage to switch to the state-developed system. The policy aims to streamline enrollment for eligible students in these federally funded meal programs.
