School-based food pantries located within or near public schools are exempted from Utah's lawful presence verification requirements, meaning schools that operate these pantries cannot ask students or families to prove their immigration status to receive food. The bill also prohibits schools from denying pantry items to any student under 18 or their parents, and exempts food pantry items from the state's recently enacted restrictions on certain food additives.
