N.Y. Agriculture & Markets Law § 50-h: Entry, inspection and investigation

§ 50-h. Entry, inspection and investigation. Any person designated for

the purpose shall have access to and may enter at all reasonable hours

all places where melloream is being manufactured, packaged or stored for

sale or distribution in the state of New York, where melloream is

otherwise being handled or sold in the state of New York, or where the

books, papers, records or documents relating to such transactions are

kept, and shall have power to inspect and copy the same, and may

administer oaths and take testimony for the purpose of ascertaining

facts which in the judgment of the commissioner are necessary to

administer this article. The commissioner may inspect a plant beyond the

boundary of the state, and when he does, the applicant or licensee

shall, prior to such inspection, agree to pay, in addition to the

license fee provided pursuant to subdivision two of section fifty-g of

this article, fees for the inspection of the plant by the commissioner

or his representatives. Such fees shall be twenty-five dollars for each

day consisting of seven hours or part thereof during which an employee

of the commissioner spends traveling to and from and inspecting the

plant. In addition the applicant or licensee shall agree to pay all

necessary expenses including but not limited to expenses for traveling,

lodging and meals. The commissioner may, if satisfied with the adequacy

of inspection by some other regulatory agency, and if satisfied that

there is substantial compliance with the regulations of the

commissioner, forego actual inspection of such out-of-state plant or

plants.
