AB 312: Agricultural theft prevention: retention and sale of agricultural commodity: holding and deposit of proceeds.
What AB 312 does, verified July 3, 2026
The bill aims to prevent agricultural theft by modifying the existing law. It would allow the commissioner to hold the proceeds of the sale of a commodity for at least 3 months before depositing them into the general fund of the county. This change would provide more time for the rightful owner to submit satisfactory proof of ownership and obtain possession of the proceeds. The bill would also give the commissioner more time to investigate and recover the stolen commodity before selling it and holding the proceeds.
