Urges United States Congress to pass "Universal School Meals Program Act."

This New Jersey Senate concurrent resolution urges the United States Congress to pass the "Universal School Meals Program Act of 2023." The bill aims to provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to all school children in the country, regardless of their family's income. Additionally, the legislation would eliminate existing school food debt and reimburse schools for any unpaid meal debts. By sending this resolution to federal lawmakers, the state is advocating for a permanent expansion of the current school meal system to address child hunger nationwide.
