The proposed bill amends the Food Law of 2000 by adding a new section, 7134, which prohibits schools from providing or selling certain food substances to students starting July 1, 2026. Specifically, schools will be banned from offering food that contains brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, propylparaben, titanium dioxide, and a list of artificial dyes including Red 40, Green 3, Blue 1, Blue 2, and Yellow 6.

The bill defines "school" to include both public and nonpublic institutions as outlined in the revised school code. This legislative change aims to enhance the safety and health of students by eliminating potentially harmful ingredients from the food provided in educational settings.
