A 10344 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Extends certain provisions relating to supermarkets providing excess edible food to food relief organizations

This bill extends the existing law that encourages supermarkets to donate excess edible food to food relief organizations, keeping the program active until December 31, 2031 (previously set to expire in 2026). It directly affects supermarkets by maintaining their eligibility for liability protection when donating food and food relief organizations by ensuring continued access to surplus food. The key provision is simply updating the expiration date of the 2021 law, with no new requirements or changes to the program's operation. The extension ensures the existing food donation framework remains in place for organizations and businesses participating in the program.
