§ 59654 Emergency Marketing Program Waiver

Key Takeaways

  • •The boss can skip a public meeting if there's not enough time before harvest or selling starts.
  • •This only happens if the boss thinks a meeting would delay making fair rules for selling stuff.
  • •The goal is to make sure selling rules are ready before the selling season begins.

Example

Farmers are about to start selling their strawberries, but the rules for selling them aren't ready yet.

The boss in charge can skip a public meeting to make the rules faster, so farmers know how to sell their strawberries on time.

§ 59654 Emergency Marketing Program Waiver

The director may decline to hold a public hearing upon a proposed proration zone and a proposed marketing program if he determines and is satisfied that a public hearing cannot be held within a reasonable time in advance of the harvesting of, or the beginning of the marketing season for, the commodity, so as to permit the formulation and establishment of an equitable and effective marketing program for the marketing season. (Amended by Stats. 1967, Ch. 1186.)
