IN RE: | HB217 by Alvarado (Relating to the types of beverages that may be sold to students on public school campuses.), As Introduced |
The bill would prohibit school districts from selling beverages with added sweeteners, milk with more than one percent fat, juices less than 100 percent juice, caloric vitamin-enhanced water, or caloric electrolyte replacement beverages unless provided by the school's coach to students engaged in vigorous physical activity for at least one hour.
The bill has no direct fiscal implications for the Foundation School Program (FSP) or the operations of the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) anticipates incurring approximately $23,354 in single-year, non-recurring costs related to rulemaking and to distributing updated Texas Public School Nutrition Policy materials to schools.
