Overview
This bill establishes the Children’s Health Promotion Fund in the Department of the Treasury. The fund will receive money from taxes on bakery items, candy, and soft drinks containing high levels of sugar. These funds will then be used to support programs aimed at improving access to healthy foods and promoting healthy eating habits for low-income children, including education and awareness campaigns. The bill also modifies existing tax laws to ensure these funds are available.
