An Act to reduce waste in school cafeterias

HD 994 requires the Massachusetts School Building Authority to create regulations for schools seeking construction or kitchen renovation funding. It mandates that applicants install dishwashers supporting reusable foodware and develop waste reduction plans for recyclables and food scraps. This directly affects schools applying for state funding to build new facilities or renovate kitchens. The bill focuses on concrete infrastructure and operational changes to reduce solid waste in school cafeterias.
