Bill	Milk.	(1) Existing law confers upon the Secretary of Food and Agriculture the ability to establish and administer the Milk Producers Security Trust Fund to reimburse milk producers for milk that is shipped to a handler when the handler defaults on payment. Existing law authorizes the secretary to maintain the fund by collecting a security charge on covered milk, as defined, from handlers, and, if the value of a handler's monthly milk purchases, as adjusted, exceeds a specified amount, requires a handler to provide an acceptable security, as defined, to the secretary. Existing law requires a transaction to meet certain criteria in order to be covered by the fund, and specifies the amount of reimbursement that is owed to a milk producer in case of default on a covered transaction. Existing law continuously appropriates any money that is collected by the secretary pursuant to these provisions, including penalty revenues, and interest from the investment, reinvestment, or deposit of that money, to reimburse milk producers and for other purposes.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 590	California AB 590 (20192020)	bill appropriation	Milk.	enacted	Mathis	9	33	7	2019-02-14	2019-09-20	openstates	ocd-bill/e09220b4-64e9-4f84-a5f9-23789ab8fdd2	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB590	3a21ba58999211a05a803be650e0268c670620f88bc3e2d64a20b5154a72541e	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
