This proposal changes what kinds of milk schools must offer in the National School Lunch Program. Schools would be required to offer both flavored and unflavored milk to students. They could still choose to offer lactose‑free milk, but it would not be required. Today, schools may offer these options; this bill would make flavored milk a must-have choice whenever milk is served under the program (as an amendment to the school lunch law) .

In short, it aims to make sure kids can pick flavored or plain milk at school lunch, while allowing lactose‑free milk as an optional extra.

• Who is affected: Students and K–12 schools that take part in the National School Lunch Program.
• What changes: Flavored and unflavored milk must be offered; lactose‑free milk remains optional .
• Day-to-day impact: Students will always see both flavored and plain milk as choices at lunch; schools can also offer lactose‑free milk if they want to.
