 Senator OTT proposes the following amendment (5126R010.CM.RO.DOCX):

 Amend the bill, as and if amended, Part IB, Section 1, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, page 305, proviso 103, line 6, by inserting a subsection (B) to read:

/(B) There is created a supplemental school breakfast program for public school students that do not qualify for the school breakfast program established pursuant to Section 56-63-765. Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, with funds appropriated and with funds carried forward for the prior fiscal year, a public school student who is not a qualifying student to receive a free breakfast through any local, state, or federal program shall be provided one breakfast at no cost during each school day upon his or her request without consideration of his or her eligibility for a federally-funded free- or reduced-price meal. The Department of Education shall use federal funds that have been disbursed for purposes of funding child nutrition programs to cover the cost of providing one breakfast at no cost to an eligible student under this provision. If the federal funds that have been disbursed for purposes of funding child nutrition programs are insufficient to cover the cost of providing one breakfast at no cost during each school day to an eligible student under this provision, the Department of Education shall allocate state funds appropriated to the Department of Education to cover the cost of providing one breakfast at no cost during each school day to an eligible student under this provision. /
