HB 1289 establishes a "Hunger-Free Campus Program" to combat student hunger in Texas postsecondary institutions. It requires institutions to seek supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) authorization, develop food pantries, allow meal credit donations, and implement capacity-building strategies for SNAP enrollment. The bill also creates a grant program to fund these efforts and ensures exemptions from work requirements for eligible SNAP students.
