This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 15.1-09 of the North Dakota Century Code, which allows for the serving of whole, two percent, and flavored pasteurized milk in schools through bulk milk dispensers. The bill defines "bulk milk" in accordance with existing law and specifies that school districts or approved nonpublic schools may establish policies to implement this provision.
The legislation overrides certain existing chapters and titles to enable school boards to serve these types of milk, thereby promoting greater availability of milk options in schools. This initiative aims to enhance the nutritional offerings in educational institutions and support student health.
