This morning, HB 1089 will be heard in the House Appropriations Committee. This bill would allocate $616,000 annually to provide free school meals for kids eligible for reduced-price lunches—ensuring our most vulnerable students don’t go hungry.

HB 1074 and 1075 will be on the Senate Floor on Tuesday, clarifying the birth certificate and non-driver ID requirements for the homeless.

BREAKING NEWS: U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan extended a block on President Trump’s widespread federal funding pause. Judge AliKhan ordered the administration to stop its freeze on federal assistance, and allow aid to nonprofits.

In her ruling, AliKhan stated "Each day that the pause continues to ripple across the country is an additional day that Americans are being denied access to programs that heal them, house them, and feed them. Because the funding freeze threatens the lifeline that keeps countless organizations operational, Plaintiffs have met their burden of showing irreparable harm."

Thank you to the National Council of Nonprofits for advocating on behalf of nonprofits across the country.
