The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6238, aims to address food waste management and composting in public schools by establishing a pilot program. This program will study the environmental impact of food waste generated in these schools and identify potential strategies for reducing such waste, particularly through composting initiatives.

The bill emphasizes the importance of environmental intervention and seeks to create an instructional opportunity for the school community to engage with and understand the implications of food waste. While the text does not specify any deletions from current law, it introduces new legal language to facilitate the implementation of this pilot program.
