HB 6023 Summary

• Establishes the "Michigan Feed Our Future Grant Program" to provide grants to Michigan school districts for healthy meals and snacks to combat food insecurity among students.

• Creates the Feed Our Future Fund as a separate fund in the Department of Education to distribute grants to eligible Michigan school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies.

• Designates the Department of Education to administer the program, determine application procedures, and distribute annual grant awards to all applying Michigan school districts.

• Funds the program through appropriations under section 435 of the Income Tax Act of 1967 and other sources, with contributions exempt from taxation.

• Requires all fund money, interest, and earnings to be expended solely for grants under the program, with unexpended balances remaining in the fund rather than reverting to the general fund.
