CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 1859

Introduced by Assembly Member Santiago

January 07, 2020

An act to amend Section 49550 of the Education Code, relating to pupil nutrition.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 1859, as introduced, Santiago. Pupil nutrition: free or reduced-price meals.

Existing law requires each school district or county superintendent of schools maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to provide each needy pupil one nutritionally adequate free or reduced-price meal during each schoolday.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
