submitted 70 years ago by ch. 327 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 83 words · no verdicts yet
The Commodity Credit Corporation may donate certain food commodities to specified federal and State correctional institutions. The donation must follow terms and regulations the Secretary of Agriculture considers in the public interest.
Despite other limits on disposing of surplus commodities acquired through price-support operations, the Commodity Credit Corporation may, on terms and under regulations the Secretary of Agriculture considers in the public interest, and after an application, donate those food commodities to Federal penal and correctional institutions and to State correctional institutions for minors. It may not donate to an institution where inmates receive food service on a fee, contract, or concession basis.
Notwithstanding any other limitations as to the disposal of surplus commodities acquired through price support operations, the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized on such terms and under such regulations as the Secretary of Agriculture may deem in the public interest, and upon application, to donate food commodities acquired through price support operations to Federal penal and correctional institutions, and to State correctional institutions for minors, other than those in which food service is provided for inmates on a fee, contract, or concession basis.
