2005 Connecticut Code - Sec. 22-176. Milk shortage. Temporary permits.
Sec. 22-176. Milk shortage. Temporary permits. Whenever there is a shortage
of milk as a result of an unavoidable occurrence or other emergency which has caused
a falling-off in the receipts of milk from approved sources, or whenever the total quantity
of milk from approved sources included in the pool computation each month of the
basic uniform price for all dealers regulated by the Federal Milk Order applicable to
Connecticut during the months of July and August has been less than one hundred six
per cent of the total quantity sold therein in fluid form during those corresponding months
and whenever the total quantity of milk from approved sources included in the pool
computation each month of the basic uniform price for all dealers regulated by the
Federal Milk Order applicable to Connecticut during any other month of the year has
been less than one hundred fifteen per cent of the quantity sold by dealers within the
state in fluid form during that month, the commissioner shall announce that a state of
emergency exists with respect to the milk supply. At such times the commissioner or
his designee may relieve the shortage through the issuance of temporary permits, signed
by the commissioner or his designee, upon application by dealers, which will authorize
a dealer to receive milk from sources which have not been approved for the shipment
of fluid milk to Connecticut, provided such milk, upon arrival at the dealer's plant in a
Connecticut market, shall meet the standards pertaining to temperature, bacteriological,
sediment, butterfat and total solids content prescribed by this chapter for milk to be sold
in fluid form in this state.
History: 1961 act allowed oral permission as form of temporary permit, deleted provision limiting temporary permit to remainder of current calendar month and deleted provision allowing extensions of such permits on month-to-month basis; 1963 act replaced references to total quantity of milk received by dealers in state with references to quantity "included in the pool computation each month of the basic uniform price for all dealers regulated by the federal milk order applicable to Connecticut" and used months of July and August rather than November and December as basis for calculations; P.A. 78-52 allowed commissioner's designee to issue temporary permits, deleted oral permission as form of temporary permits and required that they be signed by commissioner or his designee.
See Sec. 22-182a re commissioner's substitute computation if Federal Milk Order suspended or terminated.
