NY Agric & Mkts L § 258-K (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 21 - Milk Control 258-K - Declaration of Policy.

§ 258-k. Declaration  of policy.   For the purpose of implementing the   provisions of section two  hundred  fifty-eight-k  through  section  two   hundred  fifty-eight-n  of  this article, it is hereby declared that the   dairy industry is a paramount agricultural industry of  this  state  and   the  normal  processes  of  producing  and marketing milk have become an   enterprise of vast  economic  importance  to  the  state  and  of  vital   interest  to  the  consuming  public  which  ought to be safeguarded and   protected in the public interest; that it is the policy of this state to   promote, foster and encourage the intelligent and orderly  marketing  of   milk  through producer owned and controlled cooperative associations and   to promote, foster and encourage as an incident of such  marketing,  the   maintenance,  by such associations, jointly or in cooperation with other   cooperative associations of programs designed, by means of  advertising,   publicity,  education  or otherwise, to promote increased demand for and   consumption  of  milk  and  dairy  products;  that  unfair,  unjust  and   destructive  demoralizing trade practices have been and are likely to be   carried on in the production, sale, processing and distribution of  milk   and  that  it  is a matter of public interest and for the public welfare   for the state to promote the orderly  exchange  of  commodities  and  in   cooperation   with  the  federal  government  or  other  states  in  the   regulation of interstate commerce, to take such steps as  are  necessary   and  advisable  to  protect  the  dairy  industry and insure an adequate   supply of milk for the inhabitants of this state; that for such  purpose   public interest requires, as necessity therefor has arisen or may arise,   the fixing of prices of milk to be paid to producers and associations of   producers  where  there has been or is a disruption of orderly marketing   of milk in any marketing area by reason of surpluses  or  by  reason  of   unfair,  unjust  or  destructive  trade practices, that in order to make   such price-fixing effective it is necessary that  the  benefits  of  the   fluid  market  and  the  burden  of,  and  the  expense  of, handling of   surpluses, be shared equally by all producers of milk for the  marketing   area and to this end that dealers not handling their proportionate share   of the surplus shall as part of the price of their milk make payments to   a fund to equalize the prices of milk to producers and to share the cost   of handling surplus so as to remove one of the principal causes of price   demoralization.
NY Agric & Mkts L § 258-N (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 21 - Milk Control 258-N - Interstate and Federal Compacts.

§ 258-n. Interstate  and  federal compacts. The commissioner is hereby   authorized to confer  with  legally  constituted  authorities  of  other   states  and  of  the United States with respect to uniform milk control,   including sanitary requirements with states and/or  as  between  states,   and  with  the  federal  government  in  its  control of milk handled in   interstate commerce, and may exercise his  powers  hereunder  to  effect   such  uniform  milk  control.

§ 258-o. The  commissioner is hereby authorized and directed to make a   study of the sanitary regulations, codes and rules  applicable  to  milk   and  milk  products  produced in the state of New York, and to study and   report to the governor  the  possible  economic  impact  of  a  national   sanitation act upon New York milk production and New York dairy farmers.
NY Agric & Mkts L § 258-P (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 21 - Milk Control 258-P - Declaration of Policy.

§ 258-p. Declaration  of  policy. It is hereby declared: that the milk   industry is a paramount agricultural activity of this state and  of  the   northeast  in  a region comprising the New England states and the Middle   Atlantic states and is  a  business  affecting  the  public  health  and   welfare  of the inhabitants of this state and of the northeast; that the   production and marketing of milk of the dairy farms of this state and of   states in the northeast region is of vast  economic  importance  to  the   state  and  to  the region; that compliance with reasonable requirements   for the production and marketing of a safe and high quality milk  supply   is a matter of great importance both to the welfare of the dairy farmers   of  this  state  and  the  northeast,  and the health and welfare of the   consumers of milk and dairy products; that the production conditions  in   the  northeast including the climate, topography and soils are about the   same but marketing conditions are unique as compared to the remainder of   the United States in that practically all of the milk in  the  northeast   is   produced   for  fluid  markets  because  of  the  concentration  of   population.  The natural marketing area,  under  present  conditions  of   production  and  marketing,  lies  within  the  boundaries of the eleven   different states with widely different laws and regulations which govern   the economic climate and sanitary conditions under which milk and  dairy   products   are   marketed.      Artificial   barriers  have  contributed   significantly to the loss of competitive position by New York and  other   Northeastern  states.  The  market  share  held by milk producers in the   region has declined. The marketing system for milk and dairy products in   the  northeast  has  been  and  still  is  badly  fragmented.  Assembly,   administration,   operating   and  sales  costs  are  excessively  high.   Cooperative membership is below that  in  most  areas  of  the  country.   Competition  from  other regions of the country will increase.  A common   marketing area in the  northeast  is  necessary  for  a  prosperous  and   growing  dairy  industry and it is in the best interest of consumers. It   is therefore essential that there be uniformity of laws and  regulations   governing  the  production,  processing  and marketing of milk and dairy   products  in  the  northeast.  The  lack  of  uniformity  of  laws   and   regulations  involving inspection of farms and plants, labeling of dairy   products and their imitations, standards for dairy  products,  licensing   of  milk dealers and the terms of milk market orders have been a serious   deterrent to expanding markets for northeast dairy products  and  costly   to consumers.
NY Agric & Mkts L § 258-Q (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 21 - Milk Control 258-Q - Action for a Uniform Northeast Market.

§  258-q.  Action  for a uniform northeast market. The commissioner is   hereby authorized and directed  to  act  independently  or  through  the   Northeastern  Association  of  State  Departments  of  Agriculture,  the   National Conference on Interstate Milk Shipments and any other group  or   agency,   to  achieve  uniformity  of  laws  and  regulations  involving   inspection of farms  and  plants,  sanitary  codes,  labeling  of  dairy   products  and  their imitations, standards for dairy products, licensing   of milk dealers and the terms of both federal and state  milk  marketing   orders  in effect in the area. He is further directed to work toward the   elimination of the unnecessary and costly barriers to the free  flow  of   milk  created  by  laws  and  regulations originally enacted to help the   income of dairy farmers but whose present effect is  to  interfere  with   the  free flow of milk and to reduce the efficiency of distribution. The   commissioner will continuously endeavor to  effectuate  the  purpose  of   this   section   by   seeking   uniform   laws  and  regulations,  joint   investigations, joint hearings, and  joint  and  concurrent  orders  and   regulations.  He further will endeavor to create a joint agency or joint   agencies to carry out and enforce joint and concurrent  orders  and  any   other joint activities.
NY Agric & Mkts L § 258-R (2021)
2021 New York Laws AGM - Agriculture and Markets Article 21 - Milk Control 258-R - Actions to Eliminate Trade Barriers.

§ 258-r. Actions  to  eliminate trade barriers. 1. Any dairy farmer or   cooperative producing milk within this state, any licensed  milk  dealer   or  general farm organization may file a complaint with the commissioner   alleging that unconstitutional  or  otherwise  illegal  barriers  to  or   burdens  upon  interstate commerce in milk or other dairy products exist   in the laws, regulations or practices of any  other  state,  or  in  the   municipalities,   agencies   or  instrumentalities  thereof  or  in  the   regulations or practices of any  federal  agency.  The  complaint  shall   specify  the  nature of such barriers or burdens and the manner in which   the complainant, or its individual members, is aggrieved thereby.2. The commissioner shall determine whether such barriers  or  burdens   have or may ultimately have an adverse impact upon New York producers or   dealers  generally  and  determine  whether the public interest would be   served by their elimination. If the commissioner concludes  that  action   upon  such complaint is in the general public interest of this state, he   shall refer the complaint to  the  attorney  general.  The  commissioner   shall,  within  ninety  days of the receipt of such complaint, inform in   writing, the complainant and the  attorney  general  as  to  the  status   thereof. Upon making a determination with respect to such complaint, the   commissioner shall provide to the complainant and the attorney general a   written  statement  of  such  determination  setting  forth  the reasons   therefor.3. The commissioner shall maintain a continuing review  of  the  laws,   regulations   and   policies  of  the  eleven  Northeast  states,  their   municipalities and federal  agencies  for  the  purpose  of  identifying   unconstitutional  or  illegal barriers to the marketing of New York milk   and dairy products. The commissioner  may  initiate  and  refer  to  the   attorney general his own complaints with respect to any such barriers.4.  Upon  referral  of any complaint by the commissioner, the attorney   general may bring an action in any state  or  federal  court  within  or   outside  the  state,  for  the  purpose of invalidating such barriers or   burdens upon interstate commerce and for such other  relief  as  may  be   appropriate.  The  attorney  general  may  bring such action in a parens   patriae capacity.5. The attorney general shall, within ninety days of receipt  of  such   referral,  inform  the  commissioner in writing as to the status of such   referral. Upon deciding whether to commence an action  with  respect  to   the  complaint, the attorney general shall provide to the commissioner a   written statement of such decision and the reasons therefor.
