Hawaii SB3115 reduces the minimum revenue requirement for school meal sales to lower costs for families.

Hawaii SB3115 aims to make school meals more affordable by reducing the minimum revenue requirement from one-half to one-quarter of the cost of preparing the meals. This change is expected to lower costs for families and encourage greater student participation in school meal programs. The bill also allows for annual adjustments to meal prices based on the previous year's costs, rounded to the nearest five cents. Additionally, the department of education is required to provide lower rates or free meals to children based on their economic need.
