Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill would remove the requirement for the Department of Education (department) to contract for an internet-based application for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program. The cost of the program is approximately $250,000 per year. The department may also experience additional minor savings as a result of removing the requirement to collect information on alternative breakfast delivery and striking the section of statute on access to food and use of food discipline, which the department would no longer need to enforce.
