William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998

The William F. Goodling Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-336) extended expiring authorizations for child nutrition and Commodity Assistance Programs, and the WIC program, through FY2003. Among other things, this law significantly expanded the availability of federal subsidies (through the school lunch program and the CACFP) for snacks served in after-school programs and authorized demonstration projects providing free breakfasts for elementary schoolchildren without regard to family income. Modest revisions were made to child nutrition and WIC program rules.
