Citator

Cal. Food & Agric. Code § 65054 — Powers and Duties is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

(a) The secretary may require the council to correct or cease any existing activity or function that is determined by the secretary not to be in the public interest or that is in violation of this chapter.

(b) If the council refuses or fails to cease those activities or functions or to make the corrections as required by the secretary, the secretary may, upon written notice, suspend all or a portion of the activities or functions of the council until the time that the cessation or correction of activities or functions as required by the secretary has been accomplished by the council.

(c) Actions of the council in violation of the written notice are without legal force or effect. The secretary, to the extent feasible, shall issue the written notice before the council entering into any contractual relationship affecting the existing or proposed activities or functions that are the subject of the written notice.

(d) Upon service of the written notice, the secretary shall notify the council in writing of the specific acts that the secretary determines are not in the public interest or are in violation of this chapter, the secretary’s reasons for requiring a cessation or correction of specific existing or proposed activities or functions, and recommendations that will make the activities or functions acceptable.
