What this bill would do

The Supporting Healthy Mothers and Infants Act of 2025 aims to amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966. The bill focuses on updating the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to support those impacted by substance use disorder. It replaces specific terms like "drug abuse" with "substance use disorder" throughout several sections of the Act. Additionally, the bill establishes new activities to provide nutrition education and conduct outreach for eligible individuals. The Secretary is tasked with developing evidence-based materials for specific groups, including those during pregnancy and infants facing neonatal abstinence syndrome.
