14631. Every lot, parcel, or package of fertilizing material distributed into or within this state shall have attached to it, or the shipment shall be physically accompanied by, a label as required by the secretary, by regulation. The secretary may require proof of labeling statements and claims made for any fertilizing material. As evidence of proof, the secretary may rely on experimental data, evaluations, or advice furnished by scientists, including scientists affiliated with the University of California, and may accept or reject additional sources of proof. The secretary may cancel the approval of, or refuse to approve, a fertilizing material label if the secretary determines that adequate proof of label claims do not exist. The secretary, after hearing, may cancel the license of any person who distributes a fertilizing material with a label for which approval has been canceled or a label that has not been approved by the secretary. 14632. The sale or distribution of any lot, parcel, or package of fertilizing material without the label specified in Section 14631 or the regulations adopted pursuant to that section, is an infraction punishable by a fine of not more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250) if at least one notice of warning has been issued by the director for a prior violation within a 12-month period. A second or subsequent violation of this section within a 12-month period is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000).
