Hawaii HB1500 amends school meal pricing and fund management in public school cafeterias.
Hawaii HB1500 revises the pricing structure for school meals, allowing the Department of Education to set prices to cover at least half of the meal preparation costs. It mandates that all revenue from meal sales, services, federal aid, or other sources be deposited into a special school lunch fund. Expenditures for school cafeteria operations must be made from this fund. The bill also removes the requirement for annual price adjustments based on previous year's costs and the provision for offering lower rates or free meals to economically disadvantaged children.
