Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill will directly impact public school students, who will have increased access to plant-based meal choices. It may also affect school food service providers, who will need to adapt their menus and procurement practices to comply with the new mandate.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been introduced and the author, Representative Myers, has been added. The next step is for the bill to be referred to a committee for further consideration and potential amendment before a vote by the full legislative body.
