What this bill would do

The Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Its primary goal is to increase the amount of reimbursements provided under the child and adult care food program. The bill proposes adding a 10-cent reimbursement for each meal and supplement served. These changes would take effect starting the first day of the first month after the bill's enactment. Additionally, the bill involves technical adjustments to the existing reimbursement structure for family or group day care home sponsoring organizations.
