flag Ohio advances bill to fund halal and kosher meals in public schools.

flag Ohio lawmakers are advancing House Bill 562, a Democratic-backed proposal to fund halal and kosher meal options in public schools and universities, aiming to support students with religious dietary needs. flag The $300,000 pilot program, backed by seven Democratic co-sponsors, would be funded through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. flag Introduced in October by Rep. Beryl Brown Piccolantonio, the bill has undergone one committee hearing and does not currently cover non-religious dietary preferences, though that could be expanded later. flag Illinois has already mandated such meals, and other states are considering similar measures.
