Lawmaker signs Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law, expands school milk options

A Lawmaker said they signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law and framed the measure as expanding school meal options. "Today, I'm delighted to sign the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law," the Lawmaker said.

The Lawmaker said the law will allow schools to expand offerings to include whole milk. "Schools will finally be able to expand their offerings to include nutritious whole milk," the Lawmaker added. The signing was part of a broader event where a presidential commission released a report on childhood health and officials announced a new CMS digital health technology initiative.

The statement did not specify implementation details such as when schools must begin offering whole milk, funding to support menu changes, or any update to federal school nutrition rules; those details were not specified in the transcript. The Lawmaker made the signing announcement at the event's remarks and presented it as an immediate policy action.
