Three changes to Utah school policy take effect under this bill starting July 1, 2026. First, every school district must set up a "share table" at each school — a designated spot where students can return unopened, uneaten food or drinks for other students to take. Second, school community councils at elementary schools (and their charter school equivalents) must hold an annual public meeting each year to review state health and wellness guidelines, survey parents, and propose a plan covering how much time students have to eat lunch and whether recess comes before or after lunch. Third, elementary schools are prohibited from taking away recess or physical education as punishment for poor behavior or incomplete classwork, and schools cannot cut recess time simply to meet lunch scheduling goals.
