§ 79682 Producer Data Confidentiality

Key Takeaways

  • •Only a court can make them share this private info.
  • •General info (like total honey sold) can be shared, but not details about one person.

Example

A reporter asks for a list of all beekeepers in the state.

The commission can't give out the list because it's private. But they can say how much honey was sold in total.
