Bill Summary
Relative to the charitable donation of not readily marketable food. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to expand the definition of "person" in the context of provisions related to the charitable donation of not readily marketable food. The expanded definition now includes a wide range of entities, such as retailers, wholesalers, hotels, restaurants, and nonprofit food distributors, as well as their respective officers and representatives. This change aligns the state law with the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, which aims to encourage the donation of surplus food to those in need by providing liability protection for food donors.
