§ 62187 Handler Bond Payment Requirements

If a 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 an amount determined by the director that will be sufficient to satisfy claims for the payment of producers thereafter supplying market milk to the handler. The failure of a handler to have filed a new bond within 10 days after notice from the director constitutes grounds for the revocation or suspension of the license of the handler. (Amended by Stats. 1987, Ch. 156, Sec. 39. Effective July 10, 1987.)
