AN ACT ALLOWING PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO SERVE WHOLE MILK FROM ANY SOURCE.

HB 5871 amends Connecticut law to permit public schools to serve whole milk from any source, removing previous restrictions. This directly affects public school districts by allowing them to source whole milk from any provider without needing specific approval. The key provision eliminates a statutory barrier, enabling schools to choose milk suppliers based on availability or cost. The bill focuses solely on updating procurement rules, with no changes to nutritional standards or funding. (Bill: HB 5871, 2025 Session)
