Legislation to provide free breakfast to public school students across the state is moving forward in the General Assembly with committees set to review the cost.

Bennett-Parker’s bill was shelved by the House Appropriations Committee due to competing priorities while Roem’s Senate bill was following an amendment by Gov.
