Making major changes to milk and milk products regulations.
MOTIONS
On motion of Senator Rasmussen, Substitute Senate Bill No. 5379 was substituted for Senate Bill No. 5379 and the substitute bill was placed on second reading and read the second time.
Senator Rasmussen moved that the following amendment be adopted:
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the following:
"Sec. 1. RCW 15.36.115 and 1989 c 354 s 18 and 1989 c 175 s 48 are each reenacted and amended to read as follows:
(1) If the results of an antibiotic, pesticide, or other drug residue test under RCW 15.36.110 are above the actionable level established in the pasteurized milk ordinance published by the United States public health service and determined using procedures set forth in the current edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Dairy Products," a producer holding a grade A permit is subject to a civil penalty. The penalty shall be in an amount equal to one-half the value of the sum of the volumes of milk equivalent produced under the permit on the day prior to and the day of the adulteration. The value of the milk shall be computed by the weighted average price for the federal market order under which the milk is delivered.
(2) The penalty is imposed by the department giving a written notice which is either personally served upon or transmitted by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the person incurring the penalty. The notice of the civil penalty shall be a final order of the department unless, within fifteen days after the notice is received, the person incurring the penalty appeals the penalty by filing a notice of appeal with the department. If a notice of appeal is filed in a timely manner, a hearing shall be conducted on behalf of the department by the office of administrative hearings in accordance with chapters 34.05 and 34.12 RCW and, to the extent they are not inconsistent with this subsection, the provisions of RCW 15.36.580. At the conclusion of the hearing, the department shall determine whether the penalty should be affirmed, and, if so, shall issue a final order setting forth the civil penalty assessed, if any. The order may be appealed to superior court in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW. Tests performed for antibiotic, pesticide, or other drug residues by a state or certified industry laboratory of a milk sample drawn by a department official or a licensed dairy technician shall be admitted as prima facie evidence of the presence or absence of an antibiotic, pesticide, or other drug residue.
(3) Any penalty imposed under this section is due and payable upon the issuance of the final order by the department. The penalty shall be deducted by the violator's marketing organization from the violator's final payment for the month following the issuance of the final order. The department shall promptly notify the violator's marketing organization of any penalties contained in the final order.
(4) All penalties received or recovered from violations of this section shall be remitted monthly by the violator's marketing organization to the Washington state dairy products commission and deposited in a revolving fund to be used solely for the purposes of education and research. No appropriation is required for disbursements from this fund.
(5) In case of a violation of the antibiotic, pesticide, or other drug residue test requirements, an investigation shall be made to determine the cause of the residue which shall be corrected. Additional samples shall be taken as soon as possible and tested as soon as feasible for antibiotic, pesticide, or other drug residue by the department or a certified laboratory. After the notice has been received by the producer and the results of a test of such an additional sample indicate that residues are above the actionable level or levels referred to in subsection (1) of this section, the producer's milk may not be sold until a sample is shown to be below the actionable levels established for the residues.
Sec. 2. RCW 69.07.040 and 1992 c 160 s 3 are each amended to read as follows:
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a food processing plant or process foods in the state without first having obtained an annual license from the department, which shall expire on a date set by rule by the director. License fees shall be prorated where necessary to accommodate staggering of expiration dates. Application for a license shall be on a form prescribed by the director and accompanied by the license fee. The license fee is determined by computing the gross annual sales for the accounting year immediately preceding the license year. If the license is for a new operator, the license fee shall be based on an estimated gross annual sales for the initial license period.
If gross annual sales are: The license fee is:
$0 to $50,000 $50.00
$50,001 to $500,000 $100.00
$500,001 to $1,000,000 $200.00
$1,000,001 to $5,000,000 $350.00
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000 $500.00
Greater than $10,000,000 $750.00
Such application shall include the full name of the applicant for the license and the location of the food processing plant he or she intends to operate. If such applicant is an individual, receiver, trustee, firm, partnership, association or corporation, the full name of each member of the firm or partnership, or names of the officers of the association or corporation shall be given on the application. Such application shall further state the principal business address of the applicant in the state and elsewhere and the name of a person domiciled in this state authorized to receive and accept service of summons of legal notices of all kinds for the applicant. The application shall also specify the type of food to be processed and the method or nature of processing operation or preservation of that food and any other necessary information. Upon the approval of the application by the director and compliance with the provisions of this chapter, including the applicable regulations adopted hereunder by the department, the applicant shall be issued a license or renewal thereof.
Licenses shall be issued to cover only those products, processes, and operations specified in the license application and approved for licensing. Wherever a license holder wishes to engage in processing a type of food product that is different than the type specified on the application supporting the licensee's existing license and processing that type of food product would require a major addition to or modification of the licensee's processing facilities or has a high potential for harm, the licensee shall submit an amendment to the current license application. In such a case, the licensee may engage in processing the new type of food product only after the amendment has been approved by the department.
If upon investigation by the director, it is determined that a person is processing food for retail sale and is not under permit, license, or inspection by a local health authority, then that person may be considered a food processor and subject to the provisions of this chapter. An entity licensed under chapter 15.32 or 15.36 RCW is not required to obtain a license under this chapter."
POINT OF INQUIRY
Senator Talmadge: "Senator Rasmussen, I didn't have an idea from your explanation what this amendment is designed to do. The original bill that you substituted, as I understood it at least, was in some respects an implementation of last year's effort to set prices for milk products and that was disturbing to a number of members of the Senate. The amendment that is before us exempts somebody from licensure; I don't know who it is. Could you explain precisely who it is we are exempting from licensure and what this first section does relating to antibiotics, pesticides and other drug testing--what that is designed to do?"
Senator Rasmussen: "Senator Talmadge, what the amendment does, and I am not sure who we are talking about exempting unless it is the one grade B dairy that produces the cheese products. That may be the one that is exempted in this bill. However, the Department of Ag and the milk industry wants to fix this whole issue and they wanted some time in order to do that, so the amendment just takes care of the technical things that need to be done in the meantime. It is an agreed-upon amendment."
Further debate ensued.
The President declared the question before the Senate to be the adoption of the striking amendment by Senator Rasmussen to Substitute Senate Bill No. 5379.
The motion by Senator Rasmussen carried and the striking amendment was adopted.
MOTIONS

On motion of Senator Rasmussen, the rules were suspended, Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill No. 5379 was advanced to third reading, the second reading considered the third and the bill was placed on final passage.
