Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act



The Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act was enacted to encourage food donation to nonprofits by minimizing liability, in accordance with the Model Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Signed into law October 01, 1996, by President Bill Clinton, this law, named after Rep. Bill Emerson (who encouraged the proposal but died before it was passed), makes it easier to donate food by allowing donor liability only in cases of gross negligence.
