Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Rule 3-9(a) / Re-referred to Assignments
May 22, 2026
Summary
The bill caps any food‑service contract between a school board and a management company at one year, allowing up to four one‑year renewals and a 60‑day cause‑termination notice. It also requires all bids to follow standardized scoring criteria, include student taste‑test results, and be publicly disclosed after award. The goal is to increase competition, prevent long‑term monopolies, and give parents and students clearer insight into how contracts are awarded.
