MINOR

This bill was updated to include a $20 million appropriation for the Department of Education's food services program shortfall and to clarify the procurement thresholds in the summary description. The core policy changes regarding procurement rules remain the same, but the financial support and documentation were added to ensure the department can meet its local food sourcing goals.

Scope change

The bill now includes an appropriation section and clarifies the specific dollar threshold ($250,000) in the summary description, though the actual statutory text still uses placeholders for specific dollar amounts.

FISCAL

Added Section 3 appropriating $20,000,000 from general revenues for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to address the food services program shortfall.

TECHNICAL

Updated the summary description to specify the $250,000 threshold for electronic procurement exemptions and added language about the appropriation.

Changed the bill number designation from SD1 to SD2 and updated metadata including author names and timestamps.
