Digest
HB 567 requires public school districts to adopt policies ensuring that students with insufficient balances on prepaid meal accounts can continue to receive regular meals for at least one week. Districts must attempt to notify parents privately about low balances, provide payment plans, and offer assistance in applying for free or reduced-price meals. The bill prohibits punitive actions like withholding diplomas or stigmatizing students for meal debt.
