FL H1407

Establishes the Hunger-Free Campus Grant Program within the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to combat hunger on public postsecondary educational institution campuses, with an effective date of July 1, 2022.

Requires the Commissioner of Agriculture to annually designate eligible campuses as "Hunger-Free Campuses" based on criteria including establishing a hunger task force, designating a SNAP enrollment staff member, providing a campus food pantry, hosting Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week events, and conducting annual student hunger surveys.

Institutions awarding only associate degrees face modified eligibility requirements, being exempt from the SNAP benefits access requirement and the student meal credit donation program requirement that apply to baccalaureate-granting institutions.

Grants are awarded competitively, subject to legislative appropriation, with priority given to institutions with the highest percentages of Pell Grant-eligible students; funds must be used to address student hunger, promote sustainable food solutions, raise awareness of campus food services, and build partnerships to combat food insecurity.

Requires the Commissioner to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature by July 1, 2024, detailing the number and amounts of grants awarded, the program's impact on reducing student food insecurity, and funding recommendations.
