Bill overview
The WIC Healthy Beginnings Act of 2023 requires the USDA to make information about states’ requests for bids on infant formula for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) publicly available online. Currently, states handle these bids, but the USDA doesn't always have a central record of these solicitations. This bill aims to increase transparency and allow for better oversight of infant formula procurement within the WIC program. It mandates that states provide the USDA with details about their bidding processes.
