Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would require every school in Kentucky to give students a lunch period of at least 30 minutes. Schools would be required to adopt a formal policy reflecting this minimum time. Currently, lunch period length is not set by state law, so this would create a consistent standard across the state. Who it may affect: students and school administrators at Kentucky public schools.
