Food and Agricultural Code, 1967

For this article, each subsidiary or branch manufacturing milk plant is treated as its own manufacturing milk handler.

This section defines “manufacturing milk handler” by cross-reference to Section 61402.

A manufacturing milk handler who is not licensed under the referenced chapter must get this article’s license before handling manufacturing milk, and any handler must get a separate license for each milk plant owned or operated.

A license applicant must use director-prescribed forms, include the fee set in Section 61494, give the applicant’s name and address, provide any business details the director requires, and satisfy the director about character, responsibility, and good faith.

License renewals and new license applications must be filed before handling manufacturing milk or before the current license expires, and specified fees apply.

Caprifigs, if not properly treated, are said to contribute to the spread of endosepsis and other plant diseases through the blastophaga carried by figs.

People who own, handle, ship, deliver, or sell certain caprifigs in the county must treat them with a commissioner-approved method to prevent or eliminate endosepsis.

If mamme-crop caprifigs are to be shipped or used outside the county, the responsible person must notify the county commissioner about the shipment details and the consignee.

Money received by the director under this chapter must be paid monthly into the State Treasury and credited to the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund.

After notice, the commissioner must require the consignee to treat the figs before using them to prevent or eliminate endosepsis.

It is unlawful for any person to violate Section 6152, 6153, or 6154.

A person may not pack, ship, deliver for shipment, or sell caprifigs of the profichi crop in containers if they fail the listed quality conditions.

A person must not pack, ship, deliver for shipment, or sell caprifigs of the mamme crop in any container if they contain more than 25% spent figs or more than 10% blanks.

Violating any provision of this chapter is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine, jail time, or both.

A person who violates this chapter or its regulations is civilly liable for $100 to $1,000 per violation.

The director may sue in superior court to stop violations or threatened violations of this chapter or orders issued under it.

Caprifig trees are described as a menace unless they are properly controlled and regulated under supervision.
