To amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to require schools to provide fluid milk substitutes upon request of a student or the parent or guardian of such student, and for other purposes.

This bill requires schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to provide fluid milk substitutes (like soy or almond milk) upon request by a student, parent, or guardian. It changes the requirement from "may" to "shall," making it mandatory, and aligns the eligibility criteria with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Schools no longer need a medical authority's written statement - substitutes can be provided based on a parent or student request for medical or dietary needs. This directly affects students with dietary restrictions and school lunch programs nationwide.
