Fiscal Note
Current biennium cost increase - local school administrative units
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill requires certain school administrative units (SAU's) to operate an alternative breakfast delivery service that provides breakfast after the start of the school day unless the governing body of an SAU votes to opt out of the alternative breakfast delivery program after certain conditions are met. A "one-time" nonlapsing General Fund appropriation of $500,000 in fiscal year 2019-20 was provided in Public Law 2019, chapter 480 (LD 701) for this purpose.
	This fiscal note assumes that the public hearings required to be held in order for a school administrative unit to opt out of the alternative breakfast delivery service will be held during a regularly scheduled meeting of the local SAU's governing board and that the required public notice will be provided as part of the regular notice of a meeting of the governing board.
