SECTION 61490-61494
61490. For the purposes of this article, each subsidiary manufacturing milk plant, or branch manufacturing milk plant, whether under one ownership or not, shall be considered as an individual manufacturing milk handler. 61491. "Manufacturing milk handler" means any person defined as a manufacturing milk handler pursuant to Section 61402. 61492. It is unlawful for a manufacturing milk handler who is not licensed under Article 12 (commencing with Section 62141) of Chapter 2 to handle manufacturing milk without first obtaining a manufacturing milk handler's license pursuant to this article. In addition, pursuant to Section 61490, any handler shall obtain a separate license for each milk plant owned or operated. The license provided for in this article is in addition to any license which is required by Division 15 (commencing with Section 32501), or by any law or ordinance of any county or municipality of this state. 61493. Application for the license provided by this article shall be made on forms prescribed by the director, accompanied by an application fee as prescribed in Section 61494, and state the name and address of the applicant and any details specifically related to the nature of the applicant's business that the director may require. The applicant shall further satisfy the director of his or her character, responsibility, and good faith in seeking to carry on the business stated in the application. 61494. One-half of the valid license renewals shall be issued for a period of 24 months beginning January 1, 1988. The application fee for the renewal of the 24-month license shall be twenty-five dollars ($25). The remaining valid license renewals shall be issued for a period of 12 months beginning January 1, 1988. The application fee for the renewal of the 12-month license shall be twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50). Beginning January 1, 1989, all renewals of licenses shall be issued for a 24-month period, and shall be twenty-five dollars ($25). Except as otherwise provided, beginning January 1, 1988, every new license issued shall expire on the 31st day of December of the following year. Application for a new license or a renewal license, together with the appropriate application fee, shall be made prior to the handling of manufacturing milk or the expiration date of the license held. If it is not so made, the applicant shall pay an additional twenty-five dollars ($25) before the license shall be issued.
