247 - Power of commissioner to investigate.

  247. Power of commissioner to investigate. The commissioner and his
  or her authorized representatives shall have access to and may enter  at
  all  reasonable  hours  all  places  where farm products are being held,
  packaged, processed or stored, or where such  farm  products  are  being
  bought,  sold  or  handled,  and shall have access to the books, papers,
  records and documents relating to transactions involving farm  products,
  and  shall  have  the  power  to inspect and copy the same, and may take
  testimony under oath concerning any matter related to the administration
  and enforcement  of  this  article.  Any  information  relating  to  the
  business   disclosed   by  such  investigation  shall  be  held  by  the
  commissioner  as  confidential  except  that  such  information  may  be
  disclosed  in the administration and enforcement of this article. In the
  event any person refuses the  commissioner  or  his  or  her  authorized
  representatives  access  to  any premises, the commissioner may apply to
  the state supreme court for an administrative inspection  warrant  which
  shall  be  granted  upon a showing by the commissioner that the premises
  sought to be inspected are or may be utilized by such person to  conduct
  any activity subject to regulation under this article.
