Establishes a grant program to address food insecurity among students at public institutions of higher education.
The bill creates the "hunger-free campus grant program" to provide grants to public institutions of higher education that have campuses designated as hunger-free. Institutions must meet criteria such as establishing a hunger task force, designating a staff member to assist students with SNAP enrollment, and providing food pantries or meal credit programs. The commissioner will allocate grants based on the hunger-free campus funding formula, prioritizing institutions with the highest percentage of Pell grant eligible students.
