SB1383 Jurisdiction Services
Coachella Valley Region
Overview: SB1383’s effect on food rescue and recovery operations introduced regulatory requirements for both food generators and jurisdictions. Failure to follow SB1383’s requirements has the potential to result in fees ranging between $50—$10,000 per day depending on the agency enforcing the regulations in the local jurisdictions (articles 14 and 15). Further, SB1383 enters into law specificities on documentation, coordination, data collection, reporting requirements and other nuances related to food rescue that requires expertise in food handling, tracking, inventory, and systems capable of navigating correctly through the law. A jurisdiction trying to meet the SB1383 requirements using internal staff could be costly with the amount of staff training, IT food rescue tracking systems integration, SB1383 contracts program management and food rescue establish- ment support. As part of SB1383 recommendations, CalRecycle mentions jurisdictions and establishments partning with their local regional food banks to support their efforts to achieve SB1383 requirements.
For the Coachella Valley region, FIND Food Bank is the Desert’s Regional Food Bank since 1983 with the expertise, systems and ability to help jurisdictions and establishments meet the SB1383 requirements, reducing their risk of unnecessary fines. Additionally, FIND’s services combines meeting the SB1383 require- ments on behalf of the jurisdiction and establishments, with serving the most vulnerable populations who are in need of food assistance. A marriage is created between regulatory requirements and human services estab- lishing corporate social responsibility for businesses, and jurisdictions elevate their services to community by engaging more deeply in the food insecurity sector. Edible food being equitably distributed to people in need, instead of going to landfill becomes a win for all: Jurisdictions, Food Establishments, Regional Food Bank, and People in Need.
