§ 58925 Commodity Assessment Rate Limits

• •This law says that the fee for advertising and promoting a product (like fruits or milk) can't be more than 4% of the total sales of that product.
• •The fee is only for people who make, process, or sell the product.
• •The fee is calculated based on how much of the product is sold in a year.
• •The fee helps pay for ads and promotions to sell more of the product.

Imagine farmers who grow apples want to advertise their apples so more people buy them. They decide to charge a small fee to all apple farmers to pay for these ads.

The law says this fee can't be more than 4% of all the money made from selling apples that year. So if all farmers sell $1,000,000 worth of apples, the fee can't be more than $40,000.
