HB 1491 - Expand Free School Lunch
House Bill 1491 would have provided grants to school districts to defray the expenses of providing lunch, free of charge, for all students enrolled in public schools.
ND United SUPPORTED this bill.
HB 1491 DID NOT PASS the Legislature, but was inserted into K12 funding bill, SB 2284, and amended to provide free meals to students whose parents make less than 200% of federal poverty.
