What this bill does
H.R. 10393 is a bill that would amend the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to extend certain certification periods under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, commonly known as WIC. Beyond this stated purpose in the bill's title, the specific details of how certification periods would be changed, by how much, or for which participants are not yet available, since the full legislative text has not been published.
Based on the title alone, the bill appears intended to affect participants in the WIC program — a federal program that provides nutrition assistance to low-income pregnant women, new mothers, infants, and young children — as well as the state and local agencies that administer certification for benefits. However, without the bill's text, it is not possible to specify which populations, eligibility categories, or program rules would be altered.
The bill was introduced on September 15, 2026, by Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) in the 119th Congress. Its current status is "Introduced," meaning it has not yet been considered by a committee, voted on, or advanced further. Typical next steps would include committee review, possible amendment, and votes in the House and Senate before it could become law. As of now, no further action has been recorded.
