What it does

This bill creates a local farm produce program to assist schools and school districts purchasing fresh farm produce directly from farmers or distributors of fresh farm produce (Code chapter 190A). The department of agriculture and land stewardship may reimburse a school or school district for expenditures on such products to the extent moneys are available to support the program. The available moneys would be allocated during the school year on a matching basis, subject to a $5,000 cap. The bill also creates a local farm produce fund to support the program.
