H 116 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the Massachusetts Food Policy Council

This bill amends the composition of the Massachusetts Food Policy Council. It increases the council's membership size from 18 to 19 members and specifies that one member must be the commissioner of fish and game or their designee. The changes are purely procedural, adjusting the council's structure without altering its policy functions. The bill directly affects the council's membership requirements and the state agency representation on it. This is a technical amendment to the council's statutory framework.
