INTRODUCED BY   Senator McGuire

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2016

   An act to amend Sections 49430, 49430.5, 49430.7, 49431, 49431.2,
49431.5, 49431.7, and 49432 of the Education Code, relating to pupil
nutrition.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1169, as amended, McGuire. Pupil nutrition: competitive food
service and standards.
   (1) Existing federal law establishes nutritional standards for all
food and beverages other than meals reimbursed under programs
authorized by the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act and
the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 available for sale to pupils on the
school campus during the schoolday.
   Existing state law establishes nutritional standards for all food
and beverages sold or served to pupils in elementary, middle, and
high school.
   This bill would enact the Healthy Food, Healthy Student Act to
update state law regarding school nutritional standards to conform to
the federal standards. To the extent these changes would impose new
duties on school districts and county offices of education, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) Existing law requires every public school to post the school
district's nutrition and physical activity policies in public view
within all school cafeterias or other central eating areas.
   This bill would, instead, require every public school to inform
the public about the content of the school's local school wellness
policy, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
   (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no
reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
   With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that,
if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains
costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall
be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
