AR HB1682

Repeals existing Arkansas Code § 20-57-103 regarding food donation liability and replaces it with the new "Arkansas Good Neighbor Act" (§ 20-57-105)

Provides civil and criminal liability protection to individuals, businesses, gleaners, and organizations that donate food in good faith to churches, religious organizations, or nonprofits, even if the food doesn't meet consumer safety standards or isn't readily marketable

Extends the same liability protection to churches, religious organizations, and nonprofits that distribute donated food in good faith, provided they inform recipients of the food's condition

Liability protection does not apply in cases of gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, and does not limit regulatory authority over food unfit for human consumption

Requires the state to notify all licensed or permitted food producers and distributors about the food donation liability protections under this section
