What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Freedom in School Cafeterias and Lunches Act" or the "FISCAL Act," proposes amendments to the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. The primary purpose is to require schools to offer a variety of milk to students in the school lunch program. Specifically, it seeks to include plant-based milk alongside traditional fluid milk. This change would apply to the guidelines for milk offered under the program.
