Bill	Processors of farm products.	(1) Existing law requires a processor of farm products, as defined, to be licensed by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, and provides that an application for a license or for a renewal of a license that shows the applicant to be in an unsound financial condition is sufficient grounds to deny an application. Existing law provides that if the secretary is not satisfied that an applicant or licensee is financially responsible, the secretary may, in lieu of denying, suspending, or revoking the license, accept an irrevocable guarantee of the obligations of the licensee to all California farm product creditors. Existing law also requires a licensee or applicant to furnish and maintain an irrevocable guarantee if the secretary determines that, in the preceding 4 years, the person has engaged in certain conduct, including a violation that resulted in license revocation.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 907	California AB 907 (20112012)	bill appropriation	Processors of farm products.	enacted	Ma	9	32	10	2011-02-17	2012-09-23	openstates	ocd-bill/be7a4f5c-9643-4a16-9e22-a5499bc2e74e	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB907	dd27f6f11fe62b8379c3ab7c5209241124f683a8716559b033501d4214ac9e6c	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
