The proposed bill establishes the "Hunger-Free Campus Act," which creates a Hunger-Free Campus Pilot Program within the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for a duration of one year, starting July 1, 2025. The program aims to combat hunger at public postsecondary educational institutions by identifying three state universities or Florida College System institutions with the highest percentage of Pell Grant-eligible students to participate. The Commissioner of Agriculture is tasked with developing a survey instrument and overseeing the implementation of various requirements for participating institutions, including the establishment of a hunger task force, providing resources for students to access Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and hosting awareness events.

Additionally, participating institutions must submit reports detailing their implementation and results, while the Commissioner will compile a comprehensive report for the Governor and Legislature by January 1, 2027. The Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability (OPPAGA) is also mandated to conduct a study on food insecurity across campuses and provide recommendations for addressing the issue. This study will involve consultations with relevant stakeholders and is expected to yield a report by December 1, 2025. The bill includes provisions for the department to adopt rules necessary for the program's implementation.
