HB 1797 transfers oversight of Oklahoma's school lunch program from the State Board of Education to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry (ODAF), designating ODAF as the state agency responsible for administering the National School Lunch Act. It creates a "School Lunch Workshop Revolving Fund" in the state treasury, funded by workshop fees and sales of program materials, to cover expenses for workshops and educational resources. The bill also directs ODAF to allocate state funds for school lunch matching to school districts, replacing the previous process under the State Board of Education. This change directly affects school districts receiving lunch program funding and shifts administrative responsibility to ODAF.
