Concerning notice requirements for grocery establishment closures.

SB 6147 requires grocery stores in food deserts or low-income neighborhoods with limited access to other stores to provide six months' written notice of closure to city councils, county councils, health departments, and the public. During this notice period, stores must work with local officials and neighborhood groups to explore alternatives like helping residents start a co-op or connecting to another grocery store. Exceptions allow shorter notice for natural disasters or if the store is actively seeking capital that would be lost by giving full notice, but even then, stores must provide as much notice as possible and explain the reason. The attorney general and community groups can enforce these requirements through legal action for violations.
