Summary

The bill lengthens a 15 % tax credit for farmers and food producers who donate qualifying fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy and other foods to California food banks, now covering tax years through 2031. It also keeps the Emergency Food for Families Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund active until 2037, ensuring continued voluntary contributions beyond the prior 2026 deadline. The changes aim to boost food‑bank supplies and address rising food insecurity in the state.
