Bill Summary
A MEMORIAL REQUESTING THE LEGISLATIVE EDUCATION STUDY COMMITTEE AND THE LEGISLATIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE TO REVIEW EXISTING PROGRAMS TO REDUCE FOOD WASTE IN SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAMS AND TO STUDY WAYS TO CREATE AND EXPAND POLICIES THAT ALLOW UNUSED OR UNEATEN FOOD TO GO TO THE BENEFIT OF HUNGRY CHILDREN. .
AI Summary
This Memorial requests that two legislative committees, the Legislative Education Study Committee and the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee, examine current programs aimed at reducing food waste in school meal programs and explore how to develop and broaden policies that enable leftover or uneaten food to be given to hungry children, acknowledging that New Mexico has a high rate of child poverty and hunger, and that existing regulations, including those from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), sometimes hinder the donation of food, particularly in smaller communities.
