SB 1623 (2008) c. 414

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

SB 1623, c. 414: Rice industry. Defines the terms “handle” and “process” for purposes of rice production and distribution, and changes the definition of the term "handler" to persons selling or offering rice for sale. Deletes fidelity bond requirements for agents designated by the California Rice Commission (CRC) to handle assessments and instead requires these funds to be accounted for in a manner prescribed by the CRC.  Repeals and recasts the CRC and Department of Food and Agriculture (DFA) duties related to investigations and violations. Alows the DFA and the CRC to collect reimbursements for enforcement costs associated with this bill.
