The bill stipulates that 50% of this appropriation will be prioritized for projects aimed at reducing and diverting food waste and other organic wastes until June 30, 2028.

The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The fiscal impact indicates that while there will be no revenue generated from this bill, it will result in expenditures of $1,000,000 in FY 2026, funded through the General Fund.
