Bill Summary
Relativerelative to the donations of leftover food by restaurants and cafeterias. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill allows food service establishments, such as 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, meaning they will not be held responsible if someone experiences harm from eating the donated food. This aims to encourage more food donations by reducing the risks for businesses.
