AB 292 Passes Assembly Appropriations!

AB 292 (Santiago), the Time to Eat bill, passed the Assembly Committee on Appropriations this afternoon. AB 292 will now head to the Assembly floor for a vote on or before Friday, June 5. We'd like to thank Assemblymember Santiago and all of our partners whose hard work has ensured AB 292's success thus far!

 

AB 292 would ensure that students have enough time to eat a nutritious lunch at school. It emphasizes the crucial role of nutrition in supporting academic achievement and student health.

AB 292 needs your support as it heads to the Assembly floor for a vote. We've prepared a sample AB 292 floor alert that is ready for you to personalize. Please email or fax a copy to your Assemblymember and encourage an "aye" vote. Don't forget to share the sample floor alert with partners!

AB 1240 Held in Assembly Appropriations

AB 1240 (Bonta & Thurmond), the Breakfast After the Bell bill, was held in the Assembly Committee on Appropriations suspense file today. While the bill will not progress further this year, CFPA is committed to making Breakfast After the Bell a reality for students in every corner of California. You can help advance these continued policy efforts. Stay tuned for more details!

 

AB 1240 received support from a broad range of stakeholders who recognize the health, academic, and fiscal benefits of the proposal. Thank you to all of our partners who championed the bill - and thank you to Assemblymembers Bonta and Thurmond for their leadership on this issue.

 

We'll keep working until all California kids have the nutritious meals they need to learn, grown, and achieve at their full potential.
