Relating to a halal food option for breakfast and lunch programs provided by certain public schools.

HB 667 requires certain Texas public schools in high-population counties (2.1 million+ population or adjacent counties) to provide halal meal options for breakfast and lunch programs upon request by a student or their parent/guardian. The bill applies specifically to school districts and charter schools located in these designated counties, as defined by Texas law. It mandates that schools offer halal food choices for any meal program without requiring additional approval beyond the student or parent's request. The requirement takes effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
