Pelosi: House to Weigh Formula Shortage Bills Next Week

The U.S. House of Representatives plans to take up an emergency funding bill next week to address ongoing infant formula shortages and move to empower a federal nutrition program to tackle supply issues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Friday.

In a letter to lawmakers, Pelosi said that in addition to a supplemental funding bill, the House will also consider legislation giving the Women, Infant and Children nutrition program "emergency authority ... to address supply chain disruptions and recalls."
