Illinois HB4240 exempts students from mandatory meal plan charges if a medical condition prevents safe participation.
HB4240, the College Meal Plan Medical Exemption Act, ensures that students with medical conditions preventing safe participation in college meal programs are exempt from mandatory meal plan charges. The Act prohibits institutions from imposing additional fees, housing surcharges, or other financial conditions on students who submit a medical exemption. Students can voluntarily purchase an optional meal plan if offered. Institutions must process medical exemptions within 10 business days, publish their exemption process, and provide refunds for improper charges.
