Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
This article does not prevent the director if in his opinion the rights of all of the claimants are fully protected, as provided for in this article, from issuing a certificate in the name of the department and signed by him which releases any specific lot or quantity of any product or processed product from all liens of the claimants. No security which is held by the director shall, however, be released by him to any processor unless and until it is made to appear to his satisfaction that all claims have been fully paid, or that the rights of all of the claimants are fully protected.
A fee of five dollars ($5) shall be paid to the director for issuing any certificate or release which is provided for in this section.
