Summary

The bill requires every New York public school to offer a plant‑based alternative to any meal or snack when a student or their parent asks, at no extra cost, and to list this option in all food‑service materials. It applies to students who make the request but does not stop schools from offering plant‑based choices voluntarily. The measure expands dietary options for health, ethical, or religious reasons.
