HR 3233 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to direct the Secretary of Agriculture to allow infant food combinations and dinners under the special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to expand the WIC (Women, Infants, and Children) program by allowing infant food combinations and dinners to be included as supplemental foods. The Secretary of Agriculture is required to update WIC program regulations within one year of the bill's enactment to add these infant food items to the list of approved foods that eligible participants can purchase. The change would provide WIC recipients with additional nutritional options for infants beyond what is currently available under the program.
