Summary:
The child nutrition programs and the Special Supplemental
Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)
were last reauthorized in 2010. Some of the authorities
created or extended in that law (Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids
Act of 2010, P.L. 111-296) expired on September 30, 2015.
Child nutrition reauthorization refers to Congress’s
process of making changes, additions, and deletions to the
permanent statutes that authorize the child nutrition
programs, WIC, and related policies: (1) Richard B. Russell
National School Lunch Act, (2) Child Nutrition Act, and
sometimes (3) Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935.
During the 114th Congress, committees of jurisdiction
marked up bills but reauthorization was not completed (see
CRS Report R44373, Tracking the Next Child Nutrition
Reauthorization: An Overview).
