SB 225: School nutrition: guardian meal reimbursement.

California · Senate · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified February 3, 2026

What SB 225 does, verified February 3, 2026

The state will establish a process for reimbursement for summer meals served to guardians of eligible pupils. This reimbursement will be adjusted annually for inflation. The state department of education will develop guidance for summer meal program operators and, if necessary, apply for a waiver of federal law to secure federal reimbursement. Guardians must be present at the summer meal program site for the operator to receive state-funded reimbursement, unless noncongregate rules are in place. Summer meal program operators will report the number of meals served to guardians by meal site within 30 days after the end of summer meal site operations.
