The law defines key terms like “apparently wholesome food,” “gleaner,” and “qualified direct donor.” It also defines the Department of Public Health and Social Services as the “Department.” The law takes effect upon enactment, so these rules apply right away.
If you let gleaners or nonprofit staff collect donations on your land, you are protected from lawsuits or charges if they are hurt. The food must be for free distribution to needy people. This protection does not apply if the injury or death is caused by your gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing.
The law shields people, businesses, and gleaners who donate in good faith. It covers donations of apparently wholesome food or fit grocery items given to a nonprofit to give out for free to needy people. Nonprofits that receive and give out the food for free also get this protection. Certain donors — like grocers, wholesalers, farms, processors, distributors, restaurants, caterers, school food authorities, and colleges — are also protected when they give directly to a needy person at no charge. The shield covers claims about the food’s age, package, or condition, but not harm caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
