# Plain Language Summary

This is a procedural bill that sets up votes on two separate pieces of legislation. Think of it as Congress scheduling what it will debate and vote on—it's not actually changing any laws itself, but rather deciding which bills get floor time.

The first bill being scheduled (H.R. 1147) would allow schools participating in the federal school lunch program to serve whole milk to students. Currently, federal nutrition standards for school lunches restrict milk options, typically requiring low-fat or fat-free milk. This bill would give schools the flexibility to offer whole milk as an option alongside other milk choices. This could affect school lunch programs across the country and potentially change what milk options your kids see in the cafeteria line.

The second bill being scheduled (H.R. 357) focuses on government accountability by requiring that any rule or regulation issued by a federal agency must be officially signed by the head of that agency. Right now, agency heads don't always personally sign every regulation their department issues—lower-level officials often handle this. This bill would add a layer of accountability by making sure the top person takes responsibility for what their agency puts out. This could slow down the regulatory process since it adds an extra step, but supporters argue it ensures leadership takes ownership of their agency's decisions.

Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1147) to amend the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act to allow schools that participate in the school lunch program under such Act to serve whole milk; providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 357) to require the head of an agency to issue and sign any rule issued by that agency, and for other purposes; and for other purposes.
