Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book (D-Broward) reacts to the Governor’s signing of her bill, SB 1770: Donor Human Milk Bank Services, into Florida this evening:
“For the past four years, I’ve been fighting to ensure that Florida moms and vulnerable babies have the healthiest start possible by having access to safe, sterilized human milk when the mother cannot naturally provide it. I am so proud we’ve finally made it across the finish line. When babies are born early, at a low birth weight, or with other high-risk factors, donor human milk is, in many respects, a miracle therapy. Now, families will be able to receive donor human milk to feed and heal babies who need it.”
