SECTION 62640-62641

62640. If a handler defaults in payments to the pool equalization
fund provided for in Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 62700) and
the secretary determines that additional efforts will not result in
collection of the amount due, the secretary, after consultation with
the board, may pay money from the Milk Producers Security Trust Fund
to the pool equalization fund to cover the amount of the default.
However, the secretary shall first exhaust all administrative and
legal remedies within his or her authority against the defaulting
handler, and execute all judgments resulting from those remedies,
prior to recommending to the board this payment from the Milk
Producers Security Trust Fund.

62641. No payment shall be made from the Milk Producers Security
Trust Fund to the pool equalization fund for unpaid amounts which
were owed for milk handled prior to January 1, 1987.
