Minnesota did so in 2023, it's working great.
And importantly emphasizing "universal", we're not spending a bunch of money on the bureaucracy of figuring out who gets it and who qualifies and hearing people complain about fraud. They're kids, everybody gets it, nobody set up a test as to which gets get free food.
I pay both MN and NY taxes and couldn't be happier about this expenditure.
