Bill Summary

Relative to the charitable donation of not readily marketable food. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law by expanding the definition of "person" to include various types of entities, such as retailers, wholesalers, hotels, restaurants, and nonprofit food distributors, who can donate "not readily marketable food" to charities. This change aligns the state law with the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, which provides liability protections for food donors.
