Access to Healthy Food for Young Children Act of 2019
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Access to Healthy Food for Young Children Act of 2019
This bill revises several provisions related to the child and adult care food program.
Among other things, the bill
- requires reimbursements to be adjusted annually to reflect the Consumer Price Index for food away from home, rather than the Consumer Price Index for food at home used under current law;
- provides for an additional meal service to be served in child care settings with eight or more hours between the first meal service and the beginning of the fourth meal service;
- expands geographical eligibility for tier I family or group day care homes; and
- requires the Department of Agriculture to establish an advisory committee to examine the feasibility of reducing unnecessary or duplicative paperwork for those participating or seeking to participate in the program.
