The State Board of Education, the Department of State Health Services, or a school district may not adopt any rule, policy, or program under Subsections (a), (k), (l), (l-1), or (l-2) that would prohibit a parent or grandparent of a student from providing any food product of the parent's or grandparent's choice to:
- (A) Children in the classroom of the child of the parent or grandparent on the occasion of the child's birthday; or
- (B) Children at a school designated function
All food items brought by parents or grandparents to share with other students in their child's or grandchild's class must be prepackaged. All students must be included, students with food allergies must be provided an alternate choice, and all food must be consumed in the cafeteria during the last five minutes of the class's regularly scheduled lunchtime.
Please complete the Lauren's Law Request Form and submit to the principal's office of your child's school for approval at least 10 days prior to the day you would like to bring the food to share.
