FISCAL Act

This bill would require schools in the National School Lunch Program to offer a variety of milk options, including both regular dairy (fluid milk) and plant-based milk. The goal is to give students more choice at lunchtime, especially those who prefer or need non-dairy options. The bill changes the milk rules in the school lunch law to make sure multiple types are available to students.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Students and school cafeterias in the National School Lunch Program.
• What changes: Schools must offer different milk options, including plant-based milk, not just one type of dairy milk.
• When: The text does not state an effective date.
