What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires operators of dairy plants to pay to the Department of

Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) monthly milk procurement

fees based on the amount of milk they receive from dairy farmers. Under current law,

the fees are due by the 18th of each month. This bill changes the due date for milk

procurement fees to the 25th of each month.

Currently the statutes specify amounts of milk procurement fees, which apply

unless DATCP specifies different amounts by rule. DATCP's current rules specify

amounts for the fees that differ from those in the statutes. This bill eliminates the

statutory language specifying the amounts of milk procurement fees.
