Connecticut General Statutes Title 22. Agriculture. Domestic Animals § 22-203f. Transportation of milk by bulk milk pickup tanker. Permit

(a) No person may engage in the transportation of milk or milk products by bulk milk pickup tanker to or from a farm, milk plant, receiving station or transfer station in this state unless: (1) The owner of the bulk milk pickup tanker has a valid permit for such tanker and a current inspection report; and (2) the permit and inspection report accompany the tanker.

(b) The Commissioner of Agriculture may stop any bulk milk pickup tanker engaged in the transportation of milk or milk products to or from a farm, milk plant, receiving station or transfer station in this state to: (1) Determine whether a valid permit and inspection report accompany the tanker; or (2) conduct a safety and sanitation inspection. If the commissioner conducts a safety and sanitation inspection pursuant to such a stop, the commissioner may issue a new safety and sanitation inspection report. If an inspection conducted under this section reveals construction or repair defects or the need for significant cleaning, the commissioner may order a tanker removed from service until such deficiencies are corrected. If a tanker inspected under this section has a permit issued by another state, the commissioner may forward the results of the inspection to the issuing state.
