Text

(a) Upon request of a producer or processor, the director
of the department of agriculture may develop standards of
certification for any commodities produced or processed in
Wyoming whether raw or value-added in order to promote special
attributes of a particular commodity. The use of certification
standards by any producer or processor will be on a voluntary
basis. Development of standards shall be done in compliance with
the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act. Standards of
certification shall be in harmony with and not supersede
existing laws and regulations. Fees, not exceeding the cost of
administering the program, may be collected from participating
producers and processors on an annual basis and shall be
deposited in the general fund.
(b) The director may suspend or revoke a certification
granted under this act [§§ 11-43-101 and 11-43-102] if the
recipient of the certification fails to meet all of the
requirements adopted by rules and regulations.
