School Lunch Affordability Act of 2023

This bill amends the federal School Lunch Act to require school food authorities (like school districts) participating in the program to maintain a negative balance in their nonprofit school food service account by June 30th of the year preceding the previous school year. It directly affects public schools receiving federal funding for lunch programs. The key provision changes the financial requirement for these schools, mandating a specific negative balance in their accounts by a set deadline. This is a procedural financial adjustment to the program's eligibility rules, not a new benefit or funding change.
