What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

The bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to provide grants for food waste reduction pilot projects that have an

objective of preventing food waste, redirecting surplus food to hunger relief

organizations, and composting food waste. Under the bill, DATCP must give

preference to grant proposals that serve census tracts for which the median

household income is below the statewide median household income and in which no

grocery store is located. The bill provides $100,000 annually in general purpose

revenue funding for this purpose.
