FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL CODE
SECTION 14631-14632

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).
