Bill overview
The No Shame at School Act of 2024 aims to reduce the stigma associated with unpaid school meal fees and ensure that students aren't penalized for their families' financial situations. It requires schools to certify students for free or reduced-price meals and prohibits schools from identifying or stigmatizing students who owe unpaid fees. The bill also establishes a process for retroactively correcting meal claims and prevents schools from using debt collectors to pursue unpaid balances.
