HR 5189 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend title 10, United States Code, to require biennial assessments on the nutrition standards of the military departments, and for other purposes.

HR 5189 requires the Secretary of Defense to conduct biennial assessments of nutrition standards across all military departments, reviewing food options available to service members at installations. The results must be reported to Congress and published online. It also mandates a plan (within 180 days of enactment) to increase access to nutritious food at military installations, specifically targeting non-appropriated fund food venues, based on a 2024 GAO report. This bill directly affects service members by establishing regular accountability for military food nutrition standards without changing current food requirements.
