Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This amendment eliminates the General Fund appropriations totaling $150,000 in fiscal year 2014-15 to the Department of Education to develop and support local food training programs for public school food service personnel and the use of local food hubs.  Instead, it requires the Department of Education to apply for federal grant funding to support both the competitive training grants for regional training programs and the increase in the cap on the amount that the State matches for the acquisition of local foods by a school administrative district under certain conditions.
	This amendment includes a Federal Expenditures Fund base allocation of $500 in fiscal year 2014-15 to the Local Produce Fund and a Federal Expenditures Fund base allocation of $500 in fiscal year 2014-15 to a newly created Local Foods Training Fund, both within the Department of Education, in the event that federal funds are received.
