Illinois will likely become the fifth state to guarantee free breakfasts and lunches for all grade school students.
House Bill 2471 passed the Illinois House by an 88-24 margin on Wednesday. It previously earned near unanimous support from the state’s Senate.
Last month, Minnesota became the fourth state to offer free school lunches permanently. A number of other states have proposed similar provisions, but most still only provide free or reduced-cost lunch based on federal guidelines.
