Hawaii SB221 amends the state's school meals program to provide free school breakfast and lunch to all students in state schools starting in the 2025-2026 school year. It ensures that students qualify for free meals based on their household eligibility for federal programs or if their meal fund account reaches zero or a negative balance. The bill also sets meal prices to cover at least half the cost of preparation, with adjustments based on previous year's costs.
