A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to direct the joint legislative education oversight committee to study the impact of indirect costs associated with the integrity of the child nutrition services program in the public schools, as recommended by the study committee for childhood overweight/obesity of the health and wellness trust fund.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  The Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee shall study and analyze the impact of indirect costs associated with the integrity of the Child Nutrition Services Program ("Program") in the public schools.  In conducting the study, the Committee shall consider:
(1)	The financial pressures on school cafeteria managers resulting from indirect costs being charged back to the Program; and
(2)	How to reduce indirect costs that are charged back to the Program, thereby minimizing the financial incentive to sell high-fat, low-nutrient a la carte items.
The Committee shall report its findings and recommendations to the 2006 Regular Session of the 2005 General Assembly on or before May 1, 2006.
SECTION 2.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
