What if I'm not able to donate food due to circumstances that are out of my control?

SB 1383 grants a commercial edible food generator the ability to demonstrate the existence of extraordinary circumstances beyond its control which make food donations impracticable. Such circumstances may include Acts of God such as earthquakes, wildfires, flooding and other emergencies or natural disasters, or failure by the local solid waste collection jurisdiction to provide adequate avenues for food to be donated. The burden of proof falls on you, the business owner, to demonstrate the existence of such circumstances.
