The bill establishes the Farm to School Local Food Procurement Reimbursement Grant Program, which aims to reimburse eligible school districts for costs associated with sourcing and procuring local foods for student meal programs. The program, administered by the Secretary of Agriculture, is funded with an initial appropriation of $4.5 million, with $4 million allocated to the Farm to School Local Food Procurement Reimbursement Fund and $500,000 for administrative costs. School districts must submit an attestation form detailing their local food procurement plans and partner schools to qualify for grant funding, which will be distributed based on district size and the number of students enrolled.

Additionally, the bill allows up to 20 percent of grant funds to be used for technical assistance necessary for implementing local food procurement policies, provided that districts certify the need for such funding. It prohibits the use of grant funds for costs already covered by other state or federal funds and requires periodic invoicing for reimbursement. The disbursement of funds will occur on a rolling basis, and the program includes provisions for maximizing federal funding and reclaiming unspent funds for future awards. The bill mandates annual budget requests to ensure ongoing support for the program and includes reporting requirements to evaluate its effectiveness.
