CFPA Response to Child Nutrition Reauthorization Bill
CFPA is optimistic about the many program improvements put forward in the bill, but also recognizes opportunities for the bill to go further in improving the reach and positive effects of the federal nutrition programs across California.

On Wednesday, January 20, the Senate Agriculture Committee passed a bipartisan child nutrition reauthorization bill, The Improving Child Nutrition Integrity and Access Act of 2016 . The bill proposes changes to the federal child nutrition programs, including the school lunch and breakfast programs, the Summer Food Service Program, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, and WIC.

In the coming days and weeks, CFPA will continue to monitor the progress of child nutrition reauthorization, respond to the shifting landscape, and advocate improvements to the bill that are in the best interest of California kids. 

As the Senate bill moves to the floor, please stay tuned for calls to action on this important legislation!
