Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under the morning milk program, the state reimburses school districts for the
cost of providing milk to pupils in prekindergarten classes to grade five who meet
certain income eligibility standards and are not receiving milk through the federal
special milk program.
This bill provides that a child is not eligible to receive milk under the program
during the school's breakfast or lunch period. The bill also renames the morning milk
program the school day milk program.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
