§ 62147 Handler License Payment Compliance

• •If you're a milk handler (someone who buys and sells milk), you must pay the farmers on time, as agreed in your contract.
• •If you don't pay the farmers on time, the state can refuse to give you or renew your license to handle milk.
• •The director (the person in charge) decides if you didn't pay on time and can stop you from getting or keeping your license.

A milk handler named John agrees to pay a dairy farmer every Friday for the milk delivered that week.

If John doesn't pay the farmer on time, like skipping payments for a few weeks, the state can say 'no' to giving John his milk handler license or renewing it when it expires.
