Renaming the National School Lunch Program Act of 2025

# Renaming the National School Lunch Program Act of 2025 This straightforward bill would rename the federal law governing the school lunch program from the "Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act" to the "Jean E. Fairfax National School Lunch Act." The change is purely symbolic and would not alter any actual school lunch policies, funding, or operations. The bill affects all schools that participate in the federal lunch program, which serves millions of students nationwide, though the impact would be limited to updating legal documents, websites, and official references. The bill honors Jean E.

Fairfax, a civil rights activist, while removing the name of Richard B. Russell, a historical political figure. This type of legislative rename is common in Congress and typically serves to recognize individuals deemed significant to American history. As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process.
