This law assigns the responsibility for the distribution of donated food in California to the State Department of Education.

This law section explains that the California State Agency for Donated Food Distribution is allowed to work with the federal government to quickly and fairly distribute extra food to public groups, like schools or community organizations. They can also make agreements with federal agencies to help carry out these tasks.

This section gives a specific agency in California the authority to accept, receive, or buy food commodities from the federal government or any state agency, as long as it is approved by the Department of General Services. The agency can then distribute or resell these food commodities. It also mentions that this agency doesn't need to follow certain government code rules when dealing with these transactions.

This law explains how the California State Agency for Donated Food Distribution handles the costs associated with food donations. Those who receive donated food may have to pay charges that cover the costs of getting, storing, and handling these foods, but the agency can decide to lower or remove these fees if the food isn't usable. All the money collected goes into a specific fund known as the Donated Property Revolving Fund. If there's more money in the fund than needed, it can be refunded to those who paid, after approval from the Department of Finance. Some state departments, like the Department of Education, are required to deposit any refunded money back into the main fund that supports them, as determined by the Department of Finance.

This law states that if any organization or group chooses to receive leftover food directly from the federal government, they only have to pay for the cost of handling the paperwork. However, they must prove that they can store and distribute the food properly, according to rules set by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

This law establishes the Donated Food Revolving Fund within the California State Treasury. The State Department of Education will organize assets from the Surplus Property Revolving Fund into two categories: those related to surplus personal property and those related to donated food. The surplus personal property assets are transferred to the Department of General Services, while the Donated Food Program assets go into the new fund. This fund covers all costs associated with the distribution of donated food, including procurement and transportation, and is reimbursed for general assistance and property procurement. The original Surplus Property Revolving Fund will be dissolved once its balance hits zero.

This law allows the California State Agency responsible for distributing donated food to send representatives outside of California for the purpose of inspecting food items or meeting with officials from other states or the federal government. However, any such travel and expenses must be approved by both the Governor and the Department of Finance. This travel is exempt from certain limitations mentioned in other sections.

This law allows the State Agency for Donated Food Distribution in California to use funds from a revolving fund called the Donated Food Revolving Fund without providing vouchers or detailed statements at first. They can withdraw up to $30,000, or more with extra approval. These funds can only be used legally for specific costs like earnings, travel expenses, or immediate payments. All expenses must eventually be backed up with vouchers that are checked by the Controller, who ensures proper accounting. The Department of Finance or the Controller can demand a detailed account at any time.
