Go to top STATE OF NEW YORK ________________________________________________________________________ 4892--A Cal. No. 463 2021-2022 Regular Sessions IN SENATE February 17, 2021 ___________ Introduced by Sens. HINCHEY, BORRELLO, JORDAN, KRUEGER, PARKER -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Agriculture -- reported favorably from said committee and committed to the Committee on Finance -- reported favorably from said committee, ordered to first report, amended on first report, ordered to a second report and ordered reprinted, retaining its place in the order of second report AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to the Nourish New York program The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem- bly, do enact as follows: 1 Section 1. The agriculture and markets law is amended by adding a new 2 article 27 to read as follows: 3 ARTICLE 27 4 NOURISH NEW YORK 5 Section 450. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. 6 451. Definitions. 7 452. Nourish New York program. 8 § 450. Declaration of legislative findings and intent. While the Nour- 9 ish New York program was developed in response to disrupted food supply 10 chains due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has emerged as an important 11 innovation, significantly supporting the state's farms while providing 12 nourishing fresh foods to people experiencing food insecurity. The 13 COVID-19 crisis unveiled the weaknesses in our state's food supply 14 system and has caused serious economic hardships for the state's farms 15 and agribusinesses. But, in the ten months since its inception, Nourish 16 New York has already strengthened the state's food supply network and 17 expanded markets for New York farm products. The local food movement has 18 also gained significant momentum during the pandemic, with increasing 19 numbers of New Yorkers wanting to know where their food is sourced. 20 This presents the state with a major opportunity to support our local EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD09808-06-1S. 4892--A 2 1 economies and create greater equity in our food system by providing 2 greater access to local, healthy options in food insecure areas through 3 making the Nourish New York program permanent. 4 § 451. Definitions. 1. "Food relief organization" means a religious 5 organization or other not-for-profit that provides food for free to 6 persons experiencing food insecurity, including but not limited to a 7 food pantry, food bank, or soup kitchen or community-based organization 8 that provides food for free to persons experiencing food insecurity. 9 2. "Surplus agricultural products" means consumable or edible agricul- 10 tural products grown in New York but shall not include condiments, 11 sweeteners or beverages containing alcohol. 12 § 452. Nourish New York program. 1. The commissioner shall, to the 13 extent permitted by state or federal appropriations for such purpose, 14 facilitate programming that ensures surplus agricultural products are 15 provided to food relief organizations at competitive wholesale prices. 16 2. The commissioner shall provide technical assistance and information 17 about the program to food relief organizations, producers of surplus 18 agricultural products and the public, including, but not limited to, 19 information posted on the department's website. 20 3. The commissioner shall provide means, which may include posting on 21 the department's website, for producers to make available surplus agri- 22 cultural products and for food relief organizations to access surplus 23 agricultural products. 24 4. The commissioner, in consultation with the department of health, 25 shall review the current funding structure, funding adequacy and current 26 service levels of the hunger prevention nutrition assistance program in 27 all regions of the state. Review of current service levels shall take 28 into account the size of the service area, the population in need of 29 such hunger prevention nutrition assistance program and the need for 30 additional facilities within a region in order to address increasing 31 food insecurity and hunger. Following such review, the commissioner 32 shall make and report any recommendations, including but not limited to, 33 increasing the maximum amount of money each food pantry may be allocated 34 by such program, whether such program funding should be indexed for 35 inflation annually, and any structural and funding adequacy changes 36 deemed necessary. 37 5. The commissioner shall review and report on the need to establish a 38 grant program to fund the purchase of cold storage equipment for 39 regional food banks, food pantries and other emergency food organiza- 40 tions. Such grant program shall prioritize regions of the state that 41 have the highest demand for emergency food and regions of the state 42 where regional food banks and pantries have determined the need for more 43 capacity to safely store perishable food before such food is distrib- 44 uted. Such report shall be completed and submitted to the governor and 45 the legislature no later than February first, two thousand twenty-two. 46 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
