Dossier Legislative introduced 21-may-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

DONOR Milk Act

Key claim: The House has introduced the DONOR Milk Act and sent it to the Energy and Commerce Committee, beginning consideration of federal donor-milk policy.

Abstract

(HR8964 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-05-21): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The DONOR Milk Act would establish federal policy around pasteurized donor human milk, which is often used for medically fragile infants but faces inconsistent insurance coverage and access. As an introduced bill referred to Energy and Commerce, it has no legal effect yet, but signals congressional attention to a niche area of maternal-infant health that intersects with Medicaid coverage, NICU care, and food safety oversight.
