The proposed bill establishes the "Hunger-Free Campus Act," which aims to create a program within the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential to designate certain campuses at institutions of higher education in Michigan as hunger-free campuses. The program's objectives include addressing student hunger, promoting sustainable solutions for basic needs, raising awareness of available services, building partnerships to combat food insecurity, and reducing barriers to student achievement related to basic needs insecurity.

To qualify for designation as a hunger-free campus, institutions must meet specific criteria, such as forming a hunger task force, designating a staff member to inform students about assistance programs, providing options for utilizing SNAP benefits, hosting hunger awareness events, and maintaining a physical food pantry or alternative food access arrangements. Additionally, campuses are required to conduct annual surveys on student hunger and submit the results to the department. The bill also grants the department the authority to promulgate necessary rules for implementation.
