  2. CHAPTER 26 Agricultural Liming Materials and Landplaster

A distributor or common carrier who sells, offers for sale, or transports in this State any agricultural liming materials, or landplaster, or both, without being properly branded or having attached to its labels and tags as required by law, or any distributor who receives any agricultural liming material, or landplaster, or both, may be required to forfeit to the State a sum not to exceed the selling price of each separate package sold, offered for sale, or received, to be recovered by suit brought in the name of the State in any court of competent jurisdiction. These forfeitures, when collected must be paid to the State Treasurer who shall hold them subject to the order of the commission. However, the penalty defined in this section shall apply also to any misbranded agricultural liming material, or landplaster, or both. An agricultural liming material, or landplaster, or both, is considered to be misbranded if it carries a false or misleading statement upon or attached to the package.
