## Summary

**Reforms how the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are written by forcing clearer science and public transparency.** It requires stricter evidence reviews, public conflict disclosures, an independent advisory board, and set funding to reshape what counts as official dietary advice. - Families and households: Guidelines must include recommendations that are affordable, available, and accessible and give guidance for people with common nutrition-related chronic diseases. - Health professionals and researchers: Each guideline must come from an evidence-based review with strength-of-evidence ratings, external peer review, and standardized methods to weight studies and conclusions. - Federal agencies and governance: Secretaries must notify congressional committees 90 days before updates, can publish reports every 10 years or sooner, and must form a temporary Independent Advisory Board of up to 8 experts to submit priority scientific questions. *Directs $5.0 million per year from section 32 funds for fiscal years 2025–2029, increasing federal outlays by $5.0 million annually during that period.*
