SB 1809 requires all Tennessee public school districts to provide free breakfast and lunch to every enrolled student starting in the 2026-2027 school year. The bill mandates local school boards to establish these programs and directs the state to reimburse districts for meal costs after all available federal nutrition funds (like the National School Lunch Program) are applied. This applies to every student in public schools under a district's jurisdiction, with reimbursement covering costs not covered by federal programs. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49.
