§ 61408 Milk Handler Bond Requirements

If a manufacturing milk handler fails to pay any producer in the manner that is required by this chapter, the director may require the filing of a new or additional bond in the amount determined by the director to be sufficient to satisfy claims for the payment of producers thereafter supplying manufacturing milk to the manufacturing milk handler. The failure of a manufacturing milk handler to have filed a new bond within 10 days after notice from the director constitutes grounds for the revocation or suspension of the manufacturing milk handler’s license of the manufacturing milk handler. (Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 156, Sec. 10. Effective July 10, 1987.)
