§ 75132 Egg Handler Exemption Rules

(a) This chapter does not apply to any person who handles not more than 26,000 cases of eggs per year, or the equivalent thereof, and to secondary handlers. Unless the commission determines otherwise, direct sales to customers on the premises of the handler in less than one case lots shall not be included in computing the number of cases handled per year and shall not be subject to assessment by the commission. However, the handler shall file an affidavit with the commission stating the basis for exemption from this chapter. The commission shall then determine whether the exemption should be approved. (b) This chapter does not apply to any out-of-state handler who handles not more than 26,000 cases of eggs per year, or the equivalent thereof. However, upon the implementation of Section 75131.3, the commission may require the out-of-state handlers to file an affidavit with the commission stating the basis for exemption from this chapter. The commission shall then determine whether the exemption should be approved. (Amended by Stats. 1994, Ch. 1093, Sec. 14. Effective January 1, 1995.)
