Establishes a hunger-free campus grant program to address food insecurity among students.
The bill establishes the hunger-free campus grant program to provide grants to state educational institutions for addressing food insecurity among students. The Commission for Higher Education administers the program and fund, which includes appropriations, transfers, and vouchers for students. To qualify for a grant, a campus must establish a hunger task force, conduct a student survey on hunger, and meet other criteria such as providing food pantries and meal credit programs. The commission will report on the program's impact and recommend future funding.
