Permits students at public institutions of higher education to donate unused meal plan funds to emergency meal fund for distribution to New Jersey food banks.
This bill allows students at New Jersey's public colleges and universities to voluntarily donate unused meal plan funds at the end of a semester to a new state emergency meal fund. Public institutions must create policies to verify unused funds (including leftover cash or unused meal points) and transfer donations directly to the fund. The fund then provides all donated money to the New Jersey Federation of Food Banks, which distributes it to food banks across the state. The policy applies to all public higher education institutions starting with the first full academic year after the bill's enactment.
