Tests of sample by Secretary The producers and handlers of milk and dairy products may request the Secretary to make bacteriological or chemical tests, or both, of their dairy products and water in the central testing laboratory of the Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets. If, in the opinion of the Secretary, these tests can be made without interfering with regulatory work, the Secretary or his or her agent may perform them. A handler for whom such tests are made shall pay fees as, in the opinion of the Secretary, will cover the cost of performing the tests. (Added 1965, No. 175, § 12; amended 1989, No. 256 (Adj. Sess.), § 10(a), eff. Jan. 1, 1991; 1999, No. 49, § 122; 2003, No. 42, § 2, eff. May 27, 2003.)
