Résumé

This Chapter of the California Food and Agricultural Code regulates agricultural theft prevention in California. Its intent is to establish a means of identifying the owner of any fruits, nuts, or vegetables which are the food product of any tree, vine, or plant so as to provide an additional control over thefts of these commodities within the state. Every person who sells specified amounts of agricultural commodity for resale, processing, or further distribution through any commercial or nonprofit enterprise shall provide the buyer or transporter with a record of proof of ownership for each lot of the commodity. Also, every person who buys the commodity for resale, processing, or further distribution through any commercial or nonprofit enterprise shall obtain from the previous buyer or from the transporter a record of proof of ownership for each lot of the commodity, and every person who transports for commercial purposes shall possess a record showing proof of ownership for each lot of the commodity during transportation. The Chapter does not apply to agricultural commodities transported from the farm or ranch where they are produced to a commercial packing plant within this state for processing or packing; and commodities transported and accompanied by a valid permit, disposal order, or certificate issued by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture or the county agricultural commissioner for any reason other than to comply with this Chapter. Any peace officer, upon probable cause to believe an agricultural commodity regulated pursuant to this Chapter is being unlawfully transported, may stop the vehicle and request proof of ownership of the commodity, as well as seize the commodities and levy a civil penalty against any person violating the provisions of this Chapter or any regulation adopted pursuant to its provisions.
