Authorizes voluntary donation of expired food or food waste to farmers; authorizes donations if farmer waives liability.

This bill (A2709) allows grocery stores, restaurants, and other food retailers to voluntarily donate expired or unsellable food (like past-due items or restaurant leftovers) to farmers for use as animal feed. It requires farmers to sign a liability waiver acknowledging potential risks to animals or people and releasing the donor from legal responsibility. The Farm Liaison (from existing law) will help connect donors with farmers and coordinate donation logistics. The law creates a new pathway for food waste reduction while protecting donors from liability claims.
