Promote food options-students with religious diet restrictions
This bill allocates state funds to support middle schools, high schools, and universities in providing food options that meet specific religious dietary requirements, such as kosher or halal. The money will be distributed through competitive grants awarded by the Director of Agriculture, who must work with education officials to set the rules for how schools apply and receive the funding. The legislation aims to help educational institutions expand or improve their ability to serve meals that align with the religious beliefs of their students.
