Hawaii SB736 aims to promote healthier and more sustainable school meals by incentivizing local sourcing and requiring plant-based options.

SB736 seeks to enhance the health and environmental impact of school meals in Hawaii. The bill authorizes the Department of Education to create a recognition program that incentivizes schools to achieve a goal of serving 30% locally sourced food by 2030. Additionally, it mandates that all high schools within the Department of Education offer plant-based meal options, potentially designating a specific day for these vegetarian meals.
