AN ACT relating to the donation of food.

Summary

HB 281 creates exemptions for 501(c)(3) charities, religious groups and home‑based processors that give away safe, apparently wholesome food to homeless shelters or disaster victims. These donors do not need a retail food license or additional inspections if the food has already been inspected, and they are shielded from civil or criminal liability unless they act with intentional misconduct.
