Policy Landscape
Wisconsin has not enacted universal free school meals, but new 2025 bills are active. Lawmakers introduced companion bills AB 48 / SB 67 to reimburse public and private schools that offer free breakfast and lunch to all students; both received fiscal estimates but haven’t advanced to law. Gov. Evers proposed “Healthy Meals, Healthy Kids” for the 2025–27 budget, but universal meals were not included in the final Act 15; advocacy continues alongside related efforts to improve school meal quality.
