Goals of Regulation |
1. The protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth.
2. The establishment of time frames under which both dealers and producers must act to receive protection under the Law. The law protects the producer by allowing him to make a claim against the dealer’s bond for nonpayment and protects the dealer by requiring that the producer make a claim within five days of discovering the dealers failure to pay or properly account for produce.
3. The clarification of the function of the license to operate as a dealer in agricultural products by declaring, at the time of applying for the license, the conditions under which the dealer intends to operate, and the license issued shall be limited to the conditions declared.
