This bill establishes a $250,000 grant program administered by New Jersey's Department of Agriculture to support nonprofit organizations collecting excess seafood from commercial fishermen. Eligible nonprofits must donate this seafood to food pantries, shelters, and soup kitchens serving food-insecure residents. The program requires grantees to report annually on seafood donations, volunteer participation, and distribution locations. The Department of Agriculture must develop application guidelines, evaluate grant applications, and manage the program within the allocated funds.
