俄亥俄州提出法案 资助公立学校的 halal和kosher餐食 Ohio advances bill to fund halal and kosher meals in public schools.

俄亥俄州立法者正在提出众议院第562号法案,这是一项民主支持的提案,旨在资助公立学校和大学的供餐选择,目的是支持有宗教饮食需求的学生。 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. 由7个民主党共同赞助者支持的300 000美元的试点方案将由俄亥俄农业部提供资金。 The $300,000 pilot program, backed by seven Democratic co-sponsors, would be funded through the Ohio Department of Agriculture. 该法案于10月由Rep. Beryl Brown Piccolantonio提出,经过一次委员会听证会,目前不涵盖非宗教饮食偏好,不过可以稍后扩大。 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. 伊利诺伊州已经授权提供这种膳食,其他州正在考虑采取类似措施。 Illinois has already mandated such meals, and other states are considering similar measures.
