Bill Summary
For legislation relative to direct food donations. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 328 of Chapter 94 of the General Laws to provide liability protection for food service entities or retail stores that donate food, including open-dated food whose date has passed, directly to individuals without charge or at a charge sufficient only to cover the cost of handling such food. The liability protection applies as long as the donated food is not misbranded, adulterated, or manufactured, processed, prepared, handled, or stored in violation of applicable public health regulations, and the injury is not the result of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct by the donor or a person employed by or under the control of the donor.
