(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Title 15, chapter 1, article 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding section 15-120.01, to read:
15-120.01. School meals; unpaid fees; school meal fee debt fund
A. A local education agency shall ensure that a pupil whose parent or guardian has not paid the pupil's school meal fees is not shamed, treated differently or served a meal that differs from what a pupil who does not have unpaid school meal fees receives under that local education agency's policy. This subsection does not prohibit a school from serving an alternative meal to a pupil who requires a special meal for a dietary or religious reason.
B. School personnel and volunteers at a local education agency that serves meals that meet the nutrition standards prescribed in section 15‑242 to pupils during the instructional day may not take disciplinary action against a pupil that results in the denial or delay of a meal that meets the nutrition standards prescribed in section 15‑242.
