§ 74575 Commission Fund Handling Requirements

• •Money collected from fees or other sources must be put in a bank chosen by the commission.
• •The commission decides how and when to spend this money, using a person or group they pick.
• •The person or group handling the money must have insurance (called a 'fidelity bond') worth at least $25,000 to protect the money.

A local group collects fees from farmers to help sell their crops. The group puts the money in a bank and picks a person to manage it.

The group must make sure the person managing the money has insurance worth at least $25,000. This protects the money if something goes wrong, like the person stealing it.
