The Early Care and Education Consortium has developed a PDF file that provides a summary of the Child Reauthorization Act: Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. According to this file funding for the legislation directs $44.5 billion over 10 years to carry out the provisions made under the act. Part of this money is being taken from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program which I know is very controversial.
What next: US Department of Agriculture has to create regulations on the new provisions included in the bill. The public will have an opportunity to make comments on the regulations! That's awesome :)
