Bill > HR2897

This bill amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to clarify the availability and appropriateness of training for local food service personnel. Specifically, it requires that training programs be scheduled primarily during regular, paid working hours, and if scheduled outside of those hours, efforts must be made to inform personnel of the necessity of the program, provide compensation for attending, and ensure they are not penalized for not being able to attend. Additionally, the bill mandates that training be offered in-person whenever appropriate and incorporate hands-on techniques.
