Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment eliminates the ongoing General Fund appropriations in the bill of $500,000 per year beginning in fiscal year 2019-20 to the School Finance and Operations program within the Department of Education to provide funding to those school administrative units that start or expand alternative breakfast delivery services that provide breakfast after the start of the school day.  Instead, this amendment provides "one-time" General Fund appropriations of $500,000 per year in both fiscal years 2019-20 and 2020-21 only to a newly created Alternative Breakfast Delivery Service program within the department to be used for the same purpose.  The funds do not lapse, but must be carried forward into the next fiscal year.
