Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) introduced the Senate version of the Access to Donor Milk Act (S. 5292). The Access to Donor Milk Act would increase federal support for and expand access to donated breast milk for parents and their medically-vulnerable infants at nonprofit milk banks nationwide. The bill would allow state agencies to use Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) funding to promote the benefits and need for donor milk and to support donor milk activities in states. Additionally, this legislation would require the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to determine how donor milk should be regulated. This legislation was introduced during the 117th Congressional Session and will need to be reintroduced now that the 118th Congressional Session has begun.
