Infant-formula crisis finally hits lobbying disclosures

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 15, 2022

In a sign of the times, the Human Milk Banking Association of North America has hired its first lobbyists.

The organization, which accredits nonprofit milk banks in the U.S. and Canada, hired the Raben Group amid the infant-formula crisis. The team is lobbying on the Donor Milk Safety Act and other milk-bank and donor-milk issues, according to a recent disclosure.

This appears to be the first lobbying filing to address the formula shortage, according to a LegiStorm review of disclosures. But it's unlikely to be the only lobbying work on the issue: Lobbyists have until July 20 to disclose what issues they're working on in the second quarter and 45 days from the start of a contract to disclose work with new clients.
