AB 862, as introduced, Committee on Agriculture. Department of Food and Agriculture: rules and regulations: license issuance and renewal.
Existing law authorizes the Department of Food and Agriculture, by rule or regulation, to provide for the issuance and renewal on a 2-year basis of licenses, certificates of registration, or other indicia of authority issued pursuant to the Food and Agricultural Code by the department or any agency in the department, and to set the fees for the issuance or renewal of those licenses, certificates of registration, or other indicia.
This bill would instead specify that those licenses, certificates of registration, or other indicia of authority issued pursuant to the Food and Agricultural Code are those issued by the department or any division, office, or other entity within the department.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
