HB 667 requires public schools in counties with populations of 2.1 million or adjacent counties to offer a halal food option for breakfast and lunch programs upon request by a student or their guardian. The bill defines "halal" as per the Business & Commerce Code and applies to school districts and open-enrollment charter schools. It seeks to accommodate the dietary needs of Muslim students and promote inclusivity in school meal programs, starting in the 2025–2026 school year.
