HB 186-FOOD DONATIONS 3:35:37 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ announced that the next order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 186, "An Act relating to the donation of food; and relating to food banks." 3:35:50 PM ELIJAH VERHAGEN, Staff, Representative Dave Talerico, Alaska State Legislature, said that the intent of the proposed bill was to decrease the amount of wasted food in Alaska, and increase the amount of food donated to charitable organizations and to food banks. He relayed that the proposed bill added food banks and charitable organizations to the list of groups able to receive donations from any businesses that chose to donate, and that these businesses would be free from liability. He added that the proposed bill added hot food for donation, which could be labelled and given to people who would otherwise not have had the food. 3:36:53 PM REPRESENTATIVE SULLIVAN-LEONARD commented on the challenges faced with a large, local store, Fred Meyer, throwing food into the dumpster instead of making a donation. MR. VERHAGEN said that there had been discussions with the Food Bank, and that with passage of the proposed bill, the Food Bank could speak again with the larger stores, including Fred Meyer. He stated that there had also been discussions with the corporate headquarters for a change in their policy. 3:38:16 PM REPRESENTATIVE SULLIVAN-LEONARD suggested that although this was opening the door for participation, it was not guaranteeing this. 3:38:30 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ opened public testimony. 3:38:58 PM WILLIAM HARRINGTON, read from a prepared statement, which said, in part: to completely absolve someone or an organization of responsibility in the safe handling of perishable and potentially toxic food gifted on an unsuspecting public, is the height of irresponsibility by government. MR. HARRINGTON said that spoiled food was not a gift, and that "the standards imposed by the science of safe food handling must be enforced through inspection and user responsibility." He stated that the proposed bill would lead to a mass contamination with no one responsible, and he shared an anecdote of food poisoning from a food truck. He asked that those who receive the food should never be "put at the peril or lose the right to be completely compensated for harm." 3:41:14 PM CHAIR SPOHNHOLZ closed public testimony. 3:41:30 PM REPRESENTATIVE EDGMON moved to report HB 186 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, HB 186 was moved from the House Health and Social Services Standing Committee.
