AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to requiring public schools to offer plant-based food options in food service

AI Summary

This bill amends the education law to require public schools to offer plant-based food options as an alternative to every meal or snack offered in food service, upon request by a student or person in parental relation. The plant-based food option must be offered at no additional cost to the student and must be recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture as a meat alternate for the national school lunch program. The bill also requires schools to consult with the school district nutrition advisory committee in implementing these new requirements, which will take effect one year after the bill becomes law.
