AI Summary
This bill seeks to amend the definition of "person" in Section 328 of Chapter 94 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. The new definition would include individuals, corporations, partnerships, organizations, associations, and government entities such as retail grocers, wholesalers, hotels, motels, manufacturers, restaurants, caterers, farmers, and nonprofit food distributors or hospitals. The updated definition is based on the definition provided in the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, a federal law that encourages the donation of food and grocery products to nonprofit organizations for distribution to individuals in need.
