FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL CODE

SECTION 56891-56893

56891. Every person who unloads any farm product in a market and
who is a registered unloader shall register his name, Federal Social
Security number, and address and union affiliation, if any, with the
commissioner. The commissioner shall supply each registered unloader
with a card of registration. Each registered unloader shall carry
such card at all times while employed or seeking employment in
unloading any farm product in a market. A person within the
definition of the term registered unloader shall not unload any farm
product in a market unless he is registered as provided in this
chapter.

56892. Every producer who transports any farm product to a market
may register himself or herself, his or her parents, and his or her
sons or daughters, and regular full-time employees, with the
commissioner. Such registration shall show the name of the producer,
the registration number and other means of identification of his or
her own personally owned vehicles, and the relationship of the
registrant to the producer.
This chapter does not prohibit a person so registered from
unloading any farm product from a vehicle as to which he or she is so
registered, and no such person is required to employ any other
person to unload or assist in unloading such farm product nor to pay
for any services which are not requested to be performed. The
commissioner shall supply each such registrant with an appropriate
card, which the registrant shall carry at all times while engaged in
unloading any farm product at a market.

56893. Every produce dealer that operates in a market is
responsible for providing that registered unloaders sufficient in
number to do the work which is required are available at all times
when any farm product is being delivered to his place of business. He
is also responsible for having on hand at his place of business at
all such times a responsible person to receipt for any farm product
which is unloaded at his place of business.
