Food & Agr. Code, § 62707.5

If a portion of the pool quota of any producer is transferred, it shall carry with it the same quantity of production base, except that if the pool quota exceeds the production base, the pool quota shall carry with it a percentage of production base equal to the percentage of pool quota which is so transferred. In either case, the producer making a partial transfer of his pool quota shall lose a percentage of his production base equal to the percentage of his pool quota which is so transferred. If a producer transfers his entire production base to one person, his entire pool quota shall also be transferred to the recipient of the production base. If a producer transfers his entire pool quota, his entire production base shall also be transferred to the recipients of the pool quota in a percentage equal to the percentage of pool quota received by each.

All transfers of production base and pool quota shall be recorded by the director in a manner consistent with the purposes of this chapter. Permanent records shall be maintained by the director of all transactions in either production base or pool quota.

Any person who purchases or otherwise acquires a producer’s business or a portion of a producer’s business prior to the operative date of the pooling plan shall succeed to that same proportion of the producer’s production base and pool quota.
