Bill > H3156

This bill allows restaurants and cafeterias to donate their edible leftover cooked food and nonperishable food to local food pantries and assistance shelters, and in return, these establishments will be eligible for a tax credit or deduction for these donations. Importantly, the bill also provides these food service establishments with protection from liability for any harm that might result from someone eating the donated food. This aims to encourage more food donations and reduce food waste by making it easier and safer for businesses to contribute to those in need.
