Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require schools to provide fluid milk substitutes upon request of a student or the parent or guardian of such student, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require schools to provide fluid milk substitutes upon request of a student or the student's parent or guardian, regardless of whether there is a medical or special dietary need. The bill removes the requirement for a written statement from a medical authority or parent/guardian to identify the need for a milk substitute, and eliminates the discretionary language, making the provision of milk substitutes mandatory. This change aims to provide greater flexibility and access to non-dairy milk options for students.
