Summary
H.Res. 922 is a procedural resolution that established the rules for the House of Representatives to debate and vote on two specific pieces of legislation. The first, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act (H.R. 1147), seeks to expand beverage options in the National School Lunch Program by allowing schools to serve unflavored and flavored whole milk. The second, the REIN IN Act (H.R. 357), focuses on government accountability by requiring the heads of federal agencies to personally sign off on any new rules or regulations their agencies propose.
For citizens, this resolution paved the way for potential changes in school cafeterias, moving away from current restrictions that limit milk offerings to fat-free or low-fat varieties. Additionally, it advanced a measure intended to increase transparency and personal responsibility within the federal rulemaking process. Following the passage of this resolution, the House proceeded to vote on and pass the whole milk legislation.
