House BillBrandon Wipf(R)Kadyn Wittman(D)Introduced Jan 16, 2026Last action Feb 25, 2026

This bill prohibits school districts from charging students who qualify for reduced-price meals under federal lunch programs, and requires the state to reimburse districts for the cost of providing those free meals (minus any federal reimbursement they receive). School districts may still charge students who don't qualify for assistance, as well as employees and other individuals for meals.
