Plain-English Summary
This bill would modernize the WIC program (which provides food assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, and young children) by updating how it operates in the 21st century, likely including changes to what foods can be purchased, how benefits are distributed, or how the program uses technology. The changes would affect millions of low-income families who rely on WIC to buy nutritious groceries for their children.
