Hawaii SB789 amends school cafeteria meal costs, allowing lower or free meals for economically needy children and changes fund management.

Hawaii SB789 modifies school cafeteria meal costs by allowing lower or free meals for children based on economic need. It also mandates that all revenue from meal sales, services, federal aid, or other sources be deposited into a special school lunch fund. Expenditures for public school cafeterias must be made from this fund, except as otherwise specified by the legislature. The bill aims to ensure the receipt of federal aid while allowing the governor to modify strict provisions with prompt legislative review.
