Bill > H116

This bill modifies the Massachusetts Food Policy Council by making two specific changes to its composition. First, it increases the total number of council members from 18 to 19, and second, it adds the commissioner of fish and game (or their designee) as a new mandatory member of the council. These changes expand the council's membership and potentially bring more diverse perspectives to discussions about food policy in Massachusetts. The bill amends Section 6C of Chapter 20 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which outlines the structure and membership of the Food Policy Council. By adding the fish and game commissioner, the bill may aim to better integrate considerations of wildlife, environmental management, and sustainable food systems into the council's work.
