Bill > H3327

This bill aims to encourage the donation of food to persons in need. The key provisions are: 1. It provides liability protection for individuals and food establishments that donate food, including open-dated food, to nonprofit organizations for distribution to the needy, as long as the food is not misbranded, adulterated, or handled improperly. 2. It allows business corporations engaged in farming to claim a tax deduction for donating food crops grown in Massachusetts to nonprofit food distribution organizations, up to $2,000 per year. The deduction is allowed only if the donated food is used to provide food to the needy and is not transferred out of the state or used as payment. The bill aims to encourage and facilitate the donation of food to those in need, while also providing legal and tax incentives for such donations.
