Overview
This bill allows retailers and distributors, like grocery stores, to donate expired or unwanted food and food waste to farmers. To protect themselves from liability, farmers must sign a waiver acknowledging the potential risks of consuming such food and releasing the retailer from any legal claims. The Department of Agriculture will work to facilitate these donations between farmers and businesses.
