This section shall apply to any contract entered into by an agency or a
business that contracts with a local school board, local school district, or other
agency to provide food or meal services.
In addition to any requirements established by the United States Department of
Agriculture under the National School Lunch Program, the School Breakfast
Program, or other federally supported food service programs, an agency or
business that provides food or meal services under contract with a local school
board, local school district, or other agency shall give preference in purchasing
contracts to high-calcium foods or beverages.
For the purposes of this section, the term "high-calcium foods or beverages"
means foods or beverages that contain a higher level of calcium and that are
equal to or lower in price than other products of the same type and quality.
Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, if the director of a program
operated by an agency or business offering food or meal services on behalf of
a local school board, local school district, or other agency determines that a
high-calcium food or beverage would interfere with the proper treatment and
care of an individual receiving services from the program, then the purchasing
agent for that institution or business shall not be required to purchase a
high-calcium food or beverage for that individual.
A purchasing agent who has entered into a contract with a supplier to purchase
food or beverages before July 1, 2002, is not required to purchase
high-calcium foods or beverages if purchasing those products would change
the terms of the contract.
