What it does
The bill creates a pilot grant program for the Agriculture Secretary to award 3-year grants to schools for 100 percent plant-based meal options, prioritizing schools with many low-income students, with $10 million authorized through 2030. It also requires schools to offer a nondairy milk substitute to students with disabilities, a medical or special dietary need, or a written family request, and lets schools offer one to any student. A separate 3-year pilot reimburses the full cost only for the medical or special dietary need substitute, not the other substitutions.
