Authorizing the provision or sale of Pennsylvania milk in Pennsylvania schools.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Whole Milk in Pennsylvania Schools Act," authorizes Pennsylvania schools to use state or local funds to obtain and sell whole or reduced-fat Pennsylvania milk (raw milk produced and processed within the state). It defines key terms like "Pennsylvania milk" and "Pennsylvania school," and requires the Secretary of Education to notify schools about the provisions of the act. The bill also grants the state Attorney General the right to bring civil action to recover any federal funds withheld or revoked due to a school's decision to provide or sell Pennsylvania milk. Additionally, the Secretary of Education must report on the implementation of the act after two years. The bill is set to expire upon changes to federal laws or dietary guidelines that permit the availability of whole or reduced-fat milk in schools.
