Summary

The bill amends the Food Handling Regulation Enforcement Act so that volunteers at preschools or other early‑childhood programs who only hand out food, and do not cook it, are not subject to the Act’s requirements. It defines “volunteer” to include anyone providing services, whether paid or unpaid, motivated by civic duty. The change is intended to lessen regulatory burdens on these volunteers.
