Urges federal government to establish WIC waiver program allowing states to authorize use of WIC benefits to purchase alternative infant formulas during public emergencies.

This legislative resolution asks the federal government to create a permanent waiver program that allows states to let WIC participants buy different brands and types of infant formula during public emergencies. The bill directly affects low-income families in New Jersey who rely on the WIC program to feed infants, children, and pregnant or postpartum individuals. It seeks to ensure that state agencies can quickly authorize the purchase of alternative formulas when supply shortages occur, rather than being restricted to specific brands under normal conditions. The measure does not change existing laws but instead urges the USDA to establish a flexible system that can be activated whenever a crisis disrupts the availability of standard infant formula.
