What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to award an annual grant to a nonprofit organization that operates as a statewide association of food banks to promote the donation of excess and unmarketable farm and food products from farms and food processing facilities to food banks and emergency feeding organizations. In awarding the grant, DATCP is required to award $1 for every $1 of private funds the grant recipient raises for this purpose, up to a total of $250,000 in a fiscal year. Under the bill, DATCP must require the grant recipient to use the grant money to reimburse farmers and food processing facilities for the cost of harvesting, packaging for transport, and transporting to food banks or emergency feeding organizations excess or unmarketable farm and food products and to process, warehouse, and transport donated farm and food products to food banks, emergency feeding organizations, food processing facilities, and food pantries. The bill prohibits DATCP from awarding this grant after June 30, 2024.
