This bill proposes to create a safe food donation program in North Dakota. It aims to establish rules and guidelines to ensure that donated food is safe for consumption, reducing food waste and helping those in need. This program would likely affect food donors, food banks, and the general public by providing a framework for safe food donations.

As of January 23, 2025, the bill has been reported back from the Agriculture Committee and recommended not to pass. It was introduced on January 13, 2025, and failed to pass during a second reading on January 24, 2025. This means the bill is currently inactive and not moving forward in its current form.

Key actions include its introduction, referral to the Agriculture Committee, and a committee hearing. The bill's most recent major event was its second reading, where it failed to pass with 91 votes against it and none in favor.
