Enacts the state and local government food waste prevention and diversion act

Summary

The act adds a new title to the Environmental Conservation Law that obligates covered government food service locations to cut down on excess food and organic waste. These establishments must first try to give usable food to people in need, then to animals, and finally send any remaining organics to composting or digestion. The goal is to lower landfill disposal and promote reuse of food resources.
