This bill lets schools in the National School Lunch Program offer more milk choices. Instead of only fat-free or low-fat, schools could serve whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, or fat-free milk, and any of these could be flavored or unflavored. The milk can be organic or not. This gives students and families more say in what kids drink at school .

It also makes two other changes. First, if a student needs a milk substitute because of a disability, a parent or legal guardian could provide the written note, not just a doctor. Second, when schools check the saturated fat limits for meals, the fat in milk would not count toward that limit. This could make it easier for schools to offer whole or reduced‑fat milk without breaking nutrition rules .
