What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires a school board to modify its instruction about nutrition to

include knowledge of the nutritive value of foods and the role of a nutritious diet in

promoting health. Current law requires school boards to provide instruction about

the vitamin content of food and food and health values of dairy products.

The bill also modifies the conditions prerequisite to a school board awarding a

high school diploma by requiring that a nutrition education component be

incorporated into the health education credit requirement. Under current law, a

school board may not award a high school diploma to a pupil unless the pupil has

completed, among other prerequisites, at least 0.5 credit of health education.
