Appropriating Money to the Nutritional Alaskan Foods for Schools Program

S.B. 160 appropriates $3 million to the Nutritional Alaskan Foods for Schools Program for fiscal year 2013. The Program’s purpose is to encourage every Alaskan school district to purchase nutritious Alaska-grown, caught, or harvested foods. The state Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development distributes funds to individual school districts. S.B. 160 is similar to S.B. 119 (2014) and S.B. 18 (2013) which also appropriated $3 million to the Program.
