Food & Agr. Code, § 61400 · Article 5. Bonding and Payment for Manufacturing Milk
Food & Agr. Code, § 61400
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
It is recognized by the Legislature that unfair and disruptive practices have developed concerning the purchasing of manufacturing milk, as defined in Section 32509, including the failure to pay, or the making of late payments, to producers of manufacturing milk. Such practices tend to disrupt and interfere with the purposes of this chapter by, among other things, creating an unfair advantage to purchasers of manufacturing milk used for manufacturing purposes over purchasers of market milk used for manufacturing purposes. It is necessary, in order to more fully achieve the purposes of this chapter, to provide for the requirement of a payment bond and a schedule for payment concerning purchases of manufacturing milk in certain circumstances.
