The proposed bill aims to enhance access to food and nutritional information for students with medically restricted diets, such as those with celiac disease or food allergies, in both K-12 schools and institutions of higher education in Massachusetts. It mandates that all public, private, and charter schools, as well as public and private institutions of higher education, create a centralized and easily accessible section on their websites. This section must include comprehensive information regarding safe food handling policies, monthly gluten-free and allergen-free menus, enrollment instructions, and contact details for food service personnel and disability services.

The bill introduces new sections to Chapter 71 and Chapter 73 of the General Laws, specifically Section 102 for K-12 schools and Section 21 for higher education institutions. These sections outline the requirements for the information that must be made available online, ensuring that students and their families can easily access the necessary resources to accommodate their dietary needs.
