AB 1216 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Honey.

Summary
Existing law defines "honey" for purposes of those provisions of law that regulate the content, labeling, and container standards of honey. This bill would establish a new definition of honey for these purposes, including new technical standards, as specified, the violation of which would be a crime under other provisions of law. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
