Summary

The bill lengthens the existing income‑tax credit that lets eligible farmers, growers and processors claim 15% of the value of donated fresh produce and certain processed foods. It applies to donations made to California food banks and requires paperwork to verify the donation. The change also pushes the annual reporting deadline for the credit out to 2035.
