What’s happening with Scratch Cooked Meals for Students Act?
The Scratch Cooked Meals for Students Act is currently in the House Committee on Education and Workforce and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry as of May 19, 2026. These committees must hold a vote to move the bills forward, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote and expires without further action. This proposal faces the same challenge as most bills because committee inaction is the most common way for legislative efforts to end.
