§ 496. Rules; powers
(a) The Secretary may adopt and enforce all rules that the Secretary deems necessary to
enforce this chapter.
(b) When the Secretary determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that a maple
product is in violation of this chapter or any rules adopted under this chapter, the
Secretary may embargo the sale, transportation, or use of the product. Within 30 days
after the embargo, the Secretary shall cause to be instituted in the Superior Court
of the county in which the violator resides, has a place of business, or commits the
violation a petition for an order for disposal of the product. Prior to the petition
or pending court directions, the Secretary may agree with the owner of the product
for its disposal, provided the disposal is not in violation of law. The court shall
have power to condemn any maple product sold, stored, held, offered, exposed, or advertised
for sale or possessed in violation of this chapter and may authorize its disposal. (Added 1981, No. 235 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 2003, No. 42, § 2, eff. May 27, 2003; 2021, No. 105 (Adj. Sess.), § 72, eff. July 1, 2022.)
