AN ACT CONCERNING IMPROVING COORDINATION AND COOPERATION BETWEEN FOOD PANTRIES AND HOMELESS SHELTERS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO FOOD AND RESOURCES.

HB 6107 amends state law to require the food and nutrition policy analyst at the Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity and Opportunity to actively promote coordination between food pantries and homeless shelters. This bill directly affects food pantries, homeless shelters, and low-income residents who rely on these services for food access. The key provision expands the analyst's duties to foster collaboration between these organizations, aiming to streamline resource sharing and reduce duplication. The goal is to improve the efficiency of food distribution to needy residents statewide, as stated in the bill's purpose. This is a concrete policy change focused on operational coordination, not new funding or eligibility rules.
