This bill enacts a new section, R.S. 17:192.2, which establishes a prohibition on serving imported seafood in public and certain nonpublic schools in Louisiana. Specifically, it mandates that no public school governing authority or nonpublic school receiving state funds may serve seafood that originated outside of the United States to students. This prohibition applies to all meals served as part of school food programs, including breakfast and lunch, as well as other food items. Additionally, the bill extends this prohibition to the Louisiana State Capitol cafeteria.

To ensure the effective implementation of this new regulation, the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is tasked with promulgating necessary rules. The bill aims to promote the use of domestically sourced seafood in school food programs, thereby supporting local fisheries and ensuring food safety for students.
