The Senate Agriculture Committee has voted to reauthorize child nutrition programs that backers say improves integrity in school meal programs while ensuring that access to the programs for eligible participants is not compromised. In the end, Democrats and Republicans came together to send the legislation to the Senate floor.
“This bipartisan legislation is a true compromise,” said committee chairman Pat Roberts (R-KS). “Not everyone got everything they wanted, but a lot of folks have a lot to be happy about.”
