(a) A district or intermediate district shall ensure that all food made available to a student in the breakfast or lunch program complies with all federal rules and regulations related to school meals.

(b) To the extent practicable under federal regulations, a district or intermediate district shall require each student household to complete the child nutrition and education benefits application, as provided by the department, for free and reduced-price school meals regardless of whether the district or intermediate district opts to provide universal breakfast or lunch.

(c) For pupil membership count days after the fall 2025 count, a district or intermediate district shall not provide a financial incentive to students for attending pupil membership count day.
