About the Event

Secretary Kennedy joined Governor Abbott at the Texas State Capitol for a press conference and ceremonial signing of landmark MAHA legislation to put Texans on a pathway to make better-informed health and nutrition decisions. These bills require food label transparency, strengthen nutrition education, improve school lunches and physical activity requirements, and prohibit the use of SNAP benefits to purchase sweetened drinks and candy.
