An Act relative to the Massachusetts Food Policy Council
This bill updates the membership rules for the Massachusetts Food Policy Council to include the Commissioner of Fish and Game or their representative. It achieves this by amending state law to increase the council's total membership from 18 to 19 seats and adding a specific provision for the fish and game commissioner. The changes directly affect the composition of the council, ensuring the department responsible for wildlife and hunting has a formal voice in state food policy discussions.
