HCONRES 80 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing that Federal law does not prohibit elementary school or secondary school students from discussing or sharing information about non-dairy milk alternatives.

HCONRES 80 is a symbolic resolution recognizing that existing federal law (specifically the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act) does not prevent K-12 students from discussing or sharing information about non-dairy milk alternatives with peers or school staff. It affirms that students' First Amendment rights include discussing food preferences and nutritional information in school settings. The resolution encourages schools to provide clear nutrition information to parents and students and supports dietary choice for children with allergies or preferences. It does not change any current law or school policy, but rather states Congress's view that federal guidelines do not restrict such student discussions.
