(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota lawmakers could revisit legislation to provide free school meals to North Dakota students during a special session this month.
Rep. Mike Nathe, R-Bismarck, confirmed he is working on a school meals bill draft for possible consideration in the session that begins Jan. 21. Lawmakers rejected proposals for free school meals last year, but proponents are working to put a ballot measure before voters this November.
Nathe said it was too early to provide details of his proposal.
“These things take time,” Nathe said. “Hopefully, we’ll have something by the special session.”
