HB 179 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act authorizing the provision or sale of Pennsylvania milk in Pennsylvania schools.

HB 179 would allow Pennsylvania schools to provide or sell milk produced within the state for meals and snacks. It directly affects school districts and Pennsylvania dairy farmers by enabling them to use locally produced milk in school food programs. The bill removes current restrictions that prevent schools from prioritizing Pennsylvania milk in procurement. This policy change aims to support the state's dairy industry through school contracts.
