Initial Farm-to-School Bills Pass in Oklahoma Legislature
Two bills supporting farm-to-school efforts in Oklahoma have passed in the
Oklahoma legislature.
Senate Bill 1515, authored by Sen. Daisy Lawler, D-Comanche, passed
unanimously March 2. House Bill 2655, authored by Rep. Susan Winchester,
R-Chickasha, passed 99-1 on March 6, 2006.
Each bill now goes to the opposite chamber for consideration.
One goal of farm-to-school programs is to provide, fresh, high-quality,
locally-grown fruits and vegetables to school cafeterias.
