Bill Summary
This bill amends section 5 of P.L.2021, c.242 (C.52:27J-5) to expand the duties of the Food Security Advocate to include meeting at least once on a quarterly basis, either in person or through electronic means, with representatives of every food bank and other food distribution centers located in the State. Current law requires the Office of the Food Security Advocate to coordinate communication with and between food banks but does not require that the Food Security Advocate meet quarterly, either in person or through electronic means, with representatives of food banks across the State.
