WIC Healthy Beginnings Act of 2023
This bill requires state agencies administering the WIC program to publicly post details about infant formula bid solicitations online within 5 business days of posting the bid. Specifically, states must share the bid title, application website, contact information, and deadline via a central federal portal, which the Secretary must then publish publicly within 5 days. It directly affects state WIC agencies and the public by increasing transparency in how states purchase infant formula. The bill creates a new online information-sharing requirement under the Child Nutrition Act, without changing WIC eligibility or benefits.
