By Representative Hurst

ADOPTED 2/19/2008

   On page 3, beginning on line 30, after "(6)" strike all material through "(7)" on page 4, line 8

   Renumber the remaining subsection consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.

   On page 4, after line 19, insert the following:

   "(8) This section does not apply to the purchase of Washington grown food.

   (9) At the discretion of the board, a school district may develop and implement policies and procedures to facilitate and maximize to the extent practicable, purchases of Washington grown food; such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, local preferences.

   (10) As used in this section, "Washington grown" means grown and packed or processed in Washington.

   (11) This section does not apply to procurement of food by a school if it is determined that compliance with this section would:

   (i) Cause denial of federal moneys; or

   (ii) Be inconsistent with the requirements of federal law."

EFFECT: Moves the preference provision and makes changes to the definition of the food which may be procured with a preference so as to make the changes to the existing statute consistent with the changes made to the same statute in E2SHB 2798.
