HB 915 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, providing for Child and Adult Care Food Program Supplement.

HB 915 creates a new supplemental funding program under Pennsylvania's Public School Code to support childcare facilities serving meals through the federal Child and Adult Care Food Program. The bill establishes a "Supplement" administered by the Department of Education, providing additional financial reimbursements to facilities that demonstrate they can serve more meals or improve care for enrolled children and adults. Facilities must meet specific criteria, such as expanding meal service or enhancing educational opportunities (with separate standards for nonprofits vs. for-profits), and must report annually to multiple legislative committees on participation, meals served, and funding needs. This bill directly affects licensed childcare centers, shelters, and similar facilities receiving federal meal reimbursements.
