To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide special rules for 
    determining the amount allowed as a deduction for a charitable 
     contribution of apparently wholesome food which is inventory.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. CHARITABLE DEDUCTION FOR CONTRIBUTIONS OF FOOD INVENTORIES.

    (a) In General.--Subsection (e) of section 170 of the Internal 
Revenue Code of 1986 (relating to certain contributions of ordinary 
income and capital gain property) is amended by adding at the end the 
following new paragraph:
            ``(7) Application of paragraph (3) to certain contributions 
        of food inventory.--For purposes of this section--
                    ``(A) Extension to individuals.--In the case of a 
                charitable contribution of apparently wholesome food--
                            ``(i) paragraph (3)(A) shall be applied 
                        without regard to whether the contribution is 
                        made by a C corporation, and
                            ``(ii) in the case of a taxpayer other than 
                        a C corporation, the aggregate amount of such 
                        contributions from any trade or business (or 
                        interest therein) of the taxpayer for any 
                        taxable year which may be taken into account 
                        under this section shall not exceed 10 percent 
                        of the taxpayer's net income from any such 
                        trade or business, computed without regard to 
                        this section, for such taxable year.
                    ``(B) Limitation on reduction.--In the case of a 
                charitable contribution of apparently wholesome food, 
                notwithstanding paragraph (3)(B), the amount of the 
                reduction determined under paragraph (1)(A) shall not 
                exceed the amount by which the fair market value of 
                such property exceeds twice the basis of such property.
                    ``(C) Determination of basis.--If a taxpayer--
                            ``(i) does not account for inventories 
                        under section 471, and
                            ``(ii) is not required to capitalize 
                        indirect costs under section 263A,
                the taxpayer may elect, solely for purposes of 
                paragraph (3)(B), to treat the basis of any apparently 
                wholesome food as being equal to 25 percent of the fair 
                market value of such food.
                    ``(D) Determination of fair market value.--In the 
                case of a charitable contribution of apparently 
                wholesome food which is a qualified contribution 
                (within the meaning of paragraph (3), as modified by 
                subparagraph (A) of this paragraph) and which, solely 
                by reason of internal standards of the taxpayer or lack 
                of market, cannot or will not be sold, the fair market 
                value of such contribution shall be determined--
                            ``(i) without regard to such internal 
                        standards or such lack of market, and
                            ``(ii) by taking into account the price at 
                        which the same or substantially the same food 
                        items (as to both type and quality) are sold by 
                        the taxpayer at the time of the contribution 
                        (or, if not so sold at such time, in the recent 
                        past).
                    ``(E) Apparently wholesome food.--For purposes of 
                this paragraph, the term `apparently wholesome food' 
                has the meaning given such term by section 22(b)(2) of 
                the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act (42 
                U.S.C. 1791(b)(2)), as in effect on the date of the 
                enactment of this paragraph.''.
    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section shall apply 
to contributions made after the date of the enactment of this Act.
                                 <all>
