The sponsor's argument

Why Michelle Hinchey says this is needed

A recent NYS Comptroller audit found that, the Department of Health's use of Hunger Prevention and Nutrition Assistance Program (HPNAP) stand- ards have excluded nutritious and healthy locally grown agricultural products such as whole or 2% fat milk. The Department of Health's stand- ards are inconsistent with other anti-hunger or nutrition program stand- ards. The Federal Women Infant and Children (WIC) supplemental nutrition program includes the purchasing of whole or 2% fat milk. Amending the program to include whole or 2% fat milk will provide addi- tional access to this nutritious form of milk and provide additional markets to our state's farmers. This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
