Summary

The bill changes California law so that when agricultural commodities are seized and sold, the county commissioner only has to keep the sale money for at least three months before it can be turned over to the county fund. It also clarifies how quickly perishable items can be sold or donated and lets commissioners recover reasonable storage and sale costs from the owner.
