A bill for an act limiting liability for food dealers and owners of commercial vehicles who donate food to an Iowa food bank association.

This bill limits legal liability for food dealers (like restaurants and processing plants) and commercial vehicle owners who donate "evidently safe food" to Iowa food banks. It protects them from lawsuits if the donated food is deemed "evidently safe" (meaning a reasonable person would consider it safe despite not meeting retail standards) and they had no actual knowledge the food would cause harm. The protection applies only if donors operated under valid licenses, followed required food safety handling (like temperature controls), and did not declare the food unsafe or falsely advertise it. It does not cover food regulated as alcohol, under a government stop order, or if the donor knew the food was unsafe.
