Formula Legislation

Coverage of Amino Acid-Based Elemental Formula

We're thrilled to announce that the Medical Nutrition Equity Act has been reintroduced to the House as HR 3783, with Senate reintroduction imminent. PPMNE thanks U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) and Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Congressman Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) for their critical leadership on this important issue.
