Illinois becomes first state to mandate halal, kosher meals be available in public institutions such as schools

The Faith by Plate Act, also known as the Halal/Kosher bill, ensures that public schools and state-owned or state-operated facilities, such as prisons and hospitals that provide food services or cafeteria services, offer halal and kosher food options upon request, making Illinois the first state in the country to do so.
