Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Enhancement Act

Bill 119 s 260, also known as the Hygienic Handling of Breast Milk and Baby Formula Act, aims to amend the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening Act. The main goal of this bill is 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 all security screening personnel who come into contact with breast milk and baby formula follow strict guidelines for hygienic handling. This includes using gloves, sanitizing surfaces, and properly storing the milk and formula to prevent contamination.

In addition to these requirements, the bill also outlines procedures for the proper disposal of breast milk and formula that cannot be brought through security checkpoints. This is to ensure that mothers are not unfairly penalized for carrying these essential items for their infants. Overall, the Hygienic Handling of Breast Milk and Baby Formula Act seeks to protect the health and safety of infants by ensuring that their food is handled in a safe and sanitary manner during security screenings.
