2021 California Code|Food and Agricultural Code - FAC|DIVISION 21 - MARKETING|PART 3 - MARKETING LAWS REGARDING PARTICULAR PRODUCTS|CHAPTER 3 - Equalization Pools|Section 62701.

62701.  It is hereby declared that fluid milk and fluid cream are necessary articles of food for human consumption; that the production and maintenance of an adequate supply of healthful milk of proper chemical and physical content, free from contamination, is vital to public health and welfare, and that the production, transportation, processing, storage, distribution and sale of fluid milk and fluid cream in the State of California is an industry, in whole and in part, affecting public health and welfare; that unfair, unjust, destructive and demoralizing trade practices have appeared within this industry and these practices constitute a menace to the health and welfare of the inhabitants of this state by threatening the stability of this industry and by thereby endangering the assurance to the people of the State of California of the maintenance of an adequate supply of this necessary commodity; that it is a policy of this state to promote, foster and encourage the intelligent production and orderly marketing of commodities necessary to its citizens, including fluid milk and fluid cream, and to eliminate speculation, waste, improper marketing, unfair and destructive trade practices, and improper accounting for milk purchased from producers.(Added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 927.)

2021 California Code|Food and Agricultural Code - FAC|DIVISION 21 - MARKETING|PART 3 - MARKETING LAWS REGARDING PARTICULAR PRODUCTS|CHAPTER 3 - Equalization Pools|Section 62702.

62702.  It is recognized by the Legislature that currently the powers conferred upon the director by Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 61801) are inadequate to enable the dairy industry to develop and maintain satisfactory marketing conditions and bring about and maintain a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production of fluid milk and fluid cream; and that to accomplish these purposes, and particularly to insure to consumers within California an adequate and continuous supply of pure, fresh, and wholesome milk at fair and reasonable prices, including a reasonable estimate of the additional supply which is needed to provide for normal fluctuations in production and in consumer demand for those products, those powers must be supplemented by the powers conferred in this chapter upon the director to equalize gradually the distribution of class 1 usage among the producers of this state.(Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 751, Sec. 33.)
CA Food & Agri Code § 62702.1 (2021)
2021 California Code|Food and Agricultural Code - FAC|DIVISION 21 - MARKETING|PART 3 - MARKETING LAWS REGARDING PARTICULAR PRODUCTS|CHAPTER 3 - Equalization Pools|Section 62702.1.

62702.1.  It is recognized by the Legislature that the provisions for equalization of usages among producers and entry of new producers contained in the Gonsalves Milk Pooling Act, as originally enacted, and the pooling plan adopted thereunder, tended to achieve the purposes of that act; however, the provisions for more rapid equalization and additional new entry would more rapidly and effectively achieve the purposes of this chapter.It is also recognized that some holders of pool quota and production base initially issued under the Gonsalves Milk Pooling Act have waited for several years for equalization, and that equalized producers have for a number of years not shared in any of the benefits of new quota created by new usage.It is further recognized that it is necessary to promote and to attempt to assure more rapid equalization of the holders of pool quota issued subsequent to the initial allocation of production bases and pool quota pursuant to this chapter, and to provide for a program for entry and for equalization of new producers. It is the purpose of the amendments to this chapter to provide a reasonable and equitable mechanism to permit more accelerated equalization, to equalize the holders of pool quota and production base initially issued under the Gonsalves Milk Pooling Act and who are not yet equalized, and to legislatively allocate in a fair and reasonable manner a share of new pool quota created by new usage to existing pool quota holders who are not equalized, to new producers, and to equalized pool quota holders who have not shared in the benefits of the growth of new usage since the original enactment of the Gonsalves Milk Pooling Act and the pooling plan thereunder.(Added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 1192.)

The establishing of these bases and their functions shall be as provided in the pooling plan formulated by the director pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.(Added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 927.)

62704.  The director is authorized to develop a proposed pooling plan and to designate the proposed areas in which the plan will be made effective.

The pooling plan shall include all areas covered by stabilization and marketing plans under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 61801), except any relatively isolated region of the state may be excluded therefrom, if the director, after a public hearing, finds that the inclusion of the region is not practical or in conformity with the purposes of the pooling plan, or if he finds that the producers in the relatively isolated region do not desire to be a part of either their own or one of the pools.(Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 751, Sec. 34.)

Notice of the public hearings shall be given to each producer, including each member of cooperative marketing associations, who ships fluid milk to a distributor and to each distributor who receives fluid milk from producers. The procedures for the giving of notice and the conducting of the hearings shall be the same as those provided in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 61801) for public hearings on stabilization and marketing plans.(Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 751, Sec. 35.)

Any such pooling area shall mean and include a large sales and consuming center together with all intermediate and secondary cities, towns and rural areas, which depend upon and receive their fluid milk supplies from a common producing and supply area, and including the fluid milk producers who produce fluid milk for such sales and consuming area, and including the fluid milk processing plants which receive, process or distribute the fluid milk supplies for such an area.In establishing pool areas the director shall take into consideration the fact that some producers and processors may produce, or process and distribute, respectively, fluid milk for more than one pool area and therefore may qualify for inclusion and participation in more than one pool. Producers who so qualify for participation in more than one pool shall be permitted to do so on the basis of the proportions of their shipments of fluid milk to each pool area.(Added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 927.)

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.
