Hawaii HB1075 lowers the minimum revenue requirement for school meal sales to increase affordability and participation.
Hawaii HB1075 aims to make school meals more affordable by reducing the minimum revenue requirement from meal sales to one-quarter of the cost of preparing the meals. This change is expected to increase student participation in school meal programs, which are crucial for promoting equity and supporting students' health and academic success. The bill also allows for annual adjustments to meal prices based on previous year's costs and mandates that the department provide lower rates or free meals to children based on their economic need.
