Access to Donor Milk Act of 2026
To protect and expand access to pasteurized, donor human milk, and for other purposes.
The Access to Donor Milk Act of 2026 aims to ensure that infants who need it can easily get pasteurized, donor human milk. This bill is important because it can help provide a critical resource for babies who cannot breastfeed or need extra nutrition. The act would protect and expand access to this vital resource.
This bill would mainly affect infants who need donor milk, their families, and healthcare providers. It would ensure that donor milk is more available and affordable, especially for families who can't afford it on their own. By doing so, it supports the health and development of these infants.
As of April 28, 2026, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Education and Workforce. These committees will review the bill and decide the next steps. This is the first step in a long process to see if the bill will become law.
