Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to requiring public schools to provide a flavored milk option at scheduled meal periods
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York state education law to require all public schools to provide at least one flavored milk option during scheduled meal periods. The legislation is straightforward, mandating that schools must offer students a flavored milk choice (such as chocolate or strawberry milk) in addition to regular white milk during breakfast and lunch times. The bill will take effect on July 1st following its passage and will apply to all school years beginning on or after that date. By ensuring flavored milk options are available, the bill aims to potentially increase milk consumption among students by offering more appealing dairy choices during school meals, which could help support nutritional goals for children.
