Bill 119 HR 820, also known as the Hygienic Handling of Breast Milk and Baby Formula Act, aims to amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act to ensure that breast milk and baby formula are handled in a hygienic manner by security screening personnel of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and personnel of private security companies providing security screening.
The bill requires that TSA and private security personnel receive training on proper handling procedures for breast milk and baby formula during security screenings. This includes guidelines on how to properly inspect and test these liquids without contaminating them.
Additionally, the bill mandates that TSA and private security companies provide appropriate facilities for mothers to express breast milk or prepare baby formula during the screening process. This ensures that mothers are able to maintain the health and safety of their infants while traveling.
Overall, the Hygienic Handling of Breast Milk and Baby Formula Act seeks to protect the health and well-being of infants by ensuring that these essential liquids are handled with care and respect during security screenings.
