The Committee will take action on the suspense file no later than Friday, May 29. Bills are placed on suspense when assessed to have a fiscal impact.

AB 292 would help ensure that students have enough time to sit down and eat a nutritious lunch at school – at least 20 minutes after receiving their lunch. The bill emphasizes the crucial role of nutrition in supporting academic achievement and student health.
