Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This House resolution supports designating the third week of March 2025 as “National CACFP Week” and recognizes the Child and Adult Care Food Program’s role feeding children and adults. It praises CACFP outcomes, and urges strengthening the program by adding reimbursement for an extra meal/snack for full‑day children, lowering area eligibility from 50% to 40%, offering annual eligibility to for‑profit child care centers, factoring food inflation into reimbursements, and reducing administrative burdens.
Support for expanding eligibility: liberals favor, conservatives worry about costs
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a standard commemorative House resolution: it clearly designates National CACFP Week, summarizes program benefits, and expresses support for strengthening the program while remaining nonbinding.

As a nonbinding House resolution, it faces low content-based opposition yet does not create enforceable law; conversion to statute would require separate legislative action.
