S 1295 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Permits schools located within the state to purchase certain New York milk

This bill allows New York schools to use state or local funds to purchase reduced fat or whole "New York milk" (defined as milk produced, transported, and processed within New York State) for consumption at school. It directly affects public school boards and New York dairy farmers by creating a market for locally sourced milk options. Key provisions include requiring schools to use only New York milk meeting specific fat content standards and giving the state attorney general authority to recover funds withheld due to federal policies. The bill expires if federal rules change to permit whole/reduced fat milk in schools or if updated dietary guidelines allow it, with a report required after two years on implementation.
