Plain-English Summary
The bill would limit how much money the federal government spends on milk benefits for low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children through the WIC nutrition program. This change would cap monthly milk allowances, potentially affecting millions of families who rely on this assistance to afford dairy products for their children's nutrition and development.
