“Section 14(f) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1762a(f)) is amended in the third sentence by inserting ``or a nondairy beverage that meets the nutritional standards described in section 9(a)(2)(B)'' after ``milk''.”
Section 2(b)(1) amends section 14(f) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1762a(f)). In the third sentence of that provision, after the word milk, it inserts the words or a nondairy beverage that meets the nutritional standards described in section 9(a)(2)(B).
What the document actually says
“Section 14(f) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1762a(f)) is amended in the third sentence by inserting ``or a nondairy beverage that meets the nutritional standards described in section 9(a)(2)(B)'' after ``milk''.”
That sentence, in plain words
New words go into a different part of the same older law. They add drinks that are not milk. Those drinks must meet the rules this law names.
What this is about
The new words land in the third sentence of that part. They go right after the word milk.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
