CHAPTER 96. STATE USE LAW
§ 9606 Food service in public office buildings.
(a) If any governmental agency of this State intends to operate or continue food service in a public office building, that agency shall procure such food service from the Delaware Division for the Visually Impaired under the vending facility program authorized by 20 U.S.C. § 107 et seq.

(c) This section shall not apply to any office building owned or leased by any county or municipal corporation. This section shall also not apply to any building leased, used or owned by any institution of higher education.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of subsection (a) of this section to the contrary:
(1) Any provision of 20 U.S.C. § 107 et seq. that limits accrual of vending machine income to the Division for the Visually Impaired on the basis of the annual income from such vending machines is not incorporated into the laws of this State by this section; and
(2) Any provision of 20 U.S.C. § 107 et seq. that governs the use of vending machine income which accrues to the Division for the Visually Impaired is not incorporated into the laws of this State by this section.
