Bill > S3141

This bill, the Food Donation Improvement Act of 2019, aims to amend the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act to clarify and expand food donation. Key provisions include: (1) defining a "good Samaritan reduced price" as a price not greater than the cost of handling, administering, and distributing the donated food, allowing retailers and others to sell such food at a reduced price rather than donating it; (2) expanding liability protection to cover direct donations of food to needy individuals by qualified donors like retailers and restaurants; and (3) requiring the Secretary of Agriculture to issue regulations clarifying the quality and labeling standards for donated food to be eligible for liability protection under the Act.
