Legislative intent. An estimated fifty million Americans, including nearly sixteen million children, do not have sufficient food. An estimated 2.8 million New Yorkers face hunger and food insecurity. This legislation is designed to increase food donations to food banks and other providers who feed the needy while reducing food waste in solid waste landfills which create dangerous emissions. § 2. Title 30 of article 27 of the environmental conservation law, as added by a chapter of the laws of 2020, amending the environmental conservation law relating to requiring supermarkets to make excess food available to qualifying entities, as proposed in legislative bills numbers S. 4176-A and A. 4398-A, is REPEALED. § 3. Section 27-2201 of the environmental conservation law is amended by adding two new subdivisions 9 and 10 to read as follows: 9. "EXCESS EDIBLE FOOD" MEANS EDIBLE FOOD THAT IS NOT SOLD OR USED BY A DESIGNATED FOOD SCRAP GENERATOR AND IS STILL SAFE TO BE CONSUMED BUT IS BEING DISPOSED OF BY THE GENERATOR, BUT SHALL NOT INCLUDE UNPACKAGED FRESH MEAT, FISH OR POULTRY, FOOD DAMAGED BY PESTS, MOLD, BACTERIA OR EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
