SB 1362 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act providing for the Milk Dispensary School Pilot Program; awarding grants; establishing the Milk Dispensary School Pilot Program Account; and imposing duties on the Department of Agriculture.

This bill establishes a ten-year pilot program in Pennsylvania to provide grants for schools to install milk dispensary systems that serve whole milk without packaging. The Department of Agriculture, working with the Center for Dairy Excellence, will manage the program by reviewing applications and funding eligible public and nonpublic schools that participate in federal nutrition programs. Grant recipients must prioritize waste reduction, serve low-income students, source milk locally, and share data on their results. To ensure safety and compliance, the program requires all systems to meet state and federal food standards while schools report quarterly data on milk usage and waste reduction.
