Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill would modify the federal Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program, commonly known as WIC, by establishing specific maximum limits on the amount of milk that participants can receive each month. The bill sets different milk allowance caps depending on which food package a participant receives, ranging from 16 quarts per month for Food Package IV up to 24 quarts per month for Food Package VII. The legislation affects low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children who participate in the WIC program. The bill does not include specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, meaning it would modify the existing program rules without adding new federal spending. The changes would limit the flexibility that WIC currently has in providing milk benefits to eligible families.
