School grants for milk dispensers and refrigeration

Joe Courtney and Glenn Thompson introduced the bipartisan FRESH Act, which would create a competitive U.S. Department of Agriculture grant program for K–12 schools. Schools could use grants to buy and install milk dispensers or cold-storage equipment in cafeterias, making it more financially feasible to offer whole milk to students.

Context: The proposal is described as an introduced bill; the passage does not say whether it became law.
