California Table Grape Commission.

The bill summary changed from showing legislative markup '6 7 districts' to a clean '7 districts,' confirming the commission will have 3 producers from each of 7 geographic districts plus one public member.

Removed duplicate words throughout the findings section: 'farms farms' became 'farms,' 'interstate interstate' became 'interstate,' 'food food' became 'food,' 'transportation transportation' became 'transportation,' and 'equitable equitable' became 'equitable.'

Cleaned up the definition of 'Producer' in Section 65524 from markup 'any a person' to simply 'a person.'

Fixed duplicate section numbering throughout the bill (e.g., multiple instances of 'SEC. 2.' and 'SEC. 3.' appearing consecutively in the Assembly version were consolidated in the Senate version).

Changed 'prosecute civilly civil violations' to 'prosecute civil violations' in Section 65572(g), removing legislative markup.

Commission membership changed from 3 producers in each of 6 districts (18 total) to 3 producers in each of 7 districts (21 total), plus one public member, for a commission of 22 members instead of 19.

District 7 redefined from a specific geographic area (Northern California/Lodi, north of District 6 boundary) to a catch-all provision covering all area of California not included in any other district.

New Section 65524 added defining 'Producer' as any person engaged within the state in the business of producing or causing to be produced for market fresh grapes.

Commissioner qualifications simplified: removed requirements that commissioners be citizens, residents of California, and over age 25. Retained only the requirement of being actively engaged in growing fresh grapes for at least five years.

Voting in commissioner elections changed from two votes per producer (one for each of two nominees) to one vote per producer in the district. Removed special first-election provisions that allowed six votes.

Commission powers expanded to include accepting and matching contributions of funds and making contributions of commission funds to other persons or agencies, in addition to administering programs related to the table grape industry.

Removed staggered initial term provisions (one year, two years, three years determined by lot) for first commissioners. All terms are now simply three years from appointment.

Throughout the bill, references to 'Director' of Agriculture changed to 'Secretary' of Food and Agriculture, 'member' changed to 'commissioner,' and various redundant or archaic language cleaned up.

The legislative counsel's digest was updated to describe the bill as changing district borders and revising nomination/election/appointment processes, rather than simply stating the commission would have 3 producers from each of 7 districts.

Line numbers throughout the bill text were removed in the enrolled version, which is standard formatting for final enrolled bills.

The digest removed the 'Vote: majority. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.' language, retaining only 'Appropriation: yes.'

Header changed from amendment dates to passage dates (Passed the Assembly September 3, 2025; Passed the Senate September 2, 2025) and added Governor receipt block.

Enrolled bill signature pages (Assembly passage, Senate passage, Governor receipt with blank date fields) were replaced with the standard chaptered law header including 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' and the approval date of October 11, 2025.

Page headers changed from 'AB 482' to 'Ch. 614' throughout the document, reflecting its designation as Chapter 614 of the statutes.

Line wrapping and page breaks were adjusted throughout to fit the chaptered law page format, but no substantive text was added, removed, or altered.
