SCR608

This concurrent resolution urges South Dakota businesses, nonprofits, and individuals to collaborate on reducing hunger and food waste by donating safe, edible food that would otherwise be thrown away. The resolution emphasizes that the federal Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act protects food donors from liability, and highlights federal tax incentives ($1.97 per pound) available to encourage such donations. This is a non-binding resolution expressing support for food donation efforts—it does not change any state law itself.
