Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Childhood Hunger Relief Act and amends the School Breakfast and Lunch Program Act. Requires the board of education for certain school districts to utilize available federal funding to establish a school breakfast program and a summer food service program. Provides that applications for participation in the school food programs shall be filed with the State Board of Education and information about the child's status shall be provided by the Department of Human Services upon written request. Makes changes concerning the breakfast incentive program. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Makes changes concerning which schools are to have school breakfast programs. Removes provisions requiring school districts and schools to develop written plans to administer the breakfast programs. Makes changes concerning summer food service programs. Further amends the School Breakfast and Lunch Program Act. Removes the requirement that applications be filed through the regional superintendent of schools. Removes the amendatory provisions that require a school district to certify children as eligible for free meals and require the Department of Human Services to provide information about a child's status. Provides instead that the Department of Human Services shall work with the State Board of Education to certify all children that are eligible for participation.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 3
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as amended by Senate amendment No. 1 with the following changes. Requires a board of education to implement a school breakfast program in each school within its district only if at least 40% or more students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Removes the requirement that a board of education operate a summer food service program, identify a non-profit or private agency to sponsor a program, or collaborate with a non-profit or private agency to provide the program (instead, strongly encourages a board to operate a program or identify an agency to sponsor a program). Provides that a summer food service program may (instead of shall) be supported by federal funds and commodities and other available State and local resources. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the contents of the bill as engrossed with the following changes. Changes the dates in provisions concerning State policy and legislative intent, school breakfast programs, summer food service programs, and reporting school breakfast program information. Provides that a breakfast program must be implemented and operated in each school building (instead of school) within the school district in which at least 40% or more of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches based upon the count on October 31 of the previous year. Provides that a school board shall determine which schools will be required to implement and operate a school breakfast program using the data from the previous school year. Specifies allowable costs for school breakfast program reimbursement. Allows a district to opt out of the school breakfast program requirement if it is determined that the expense reimbursement would not fully cover the costs of implementing and operating a program. Provides for the regional superintendent of schools to make the decision, with appeals of decisions from districts and residents of districts heard by a joint committee made up of the members of the House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee and Senate Education Committee. Provides that a school district may not attempt to opt out of the school breakfast program requirement by requesting a mandate waiver under the School Code. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 2
Provides that within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory Act or by September 1, 2004, whichever date is later (instead of by September 1, 2004), a school board shall implement and operate a school breakfast program.
