Bill > HR6193

This bill directs the Secretary of the Navy to establish a pilot program to offer plant-based protein options at forward operating bases for consumption by members of the Navy. The program must be established by March 1, 2022 and select at least two naval facilities to participate, prioritizing those where livestock-based protein options may be costly to obtain or store. The bill allows for the continued offering of livestock-based protein options alongside the plant-based options. The pilot program will terminate three years after its establishment, and the Secretary must submit a report to Congress within one year of the program's termination, including details on consumption rates, cost comparisons, and effective criteria for expanding plant-based options at other naval facilities.
