AN ACT relating to the donation of food.

This bill makes it easier for nonprofit and religious organizations, as well as home-based food producers, to donate food to homeless shelters or people displaced by natural disasters. It removes certain licensing and plumbing code requirements for these donors and protects them from legal liability if someone becomes ill from donated food. This is meant to reduce barriers that might otherwise discourage food donations during times of need. Who it may affect: nonprofit and religious organizations, home-based food producers, people experiencing homelessness, and Kentuckians displaced by natural disasters.
