New York Consolidated Laws, Agriculture and Markets Law - AGM § 142-hh. Stop orders

Whenever the commissioner or representatives of the commissioner shall find any agricultural liming material suspected of being supplied in violation of any of the provisions of this article the commissioner or his or her representatives may issue a written “stop order” to the owner or custodian of any such suspect lot and enforce the same against any such person.  Any such order may direct that the agricultural liming material be removed from distribution and retained at the establishment having custody.  Any person aggrieved by a “stop order” shall be entitled to a hearing thereon within ten days of a demand therefor.  It will be a violation of this section for the owner or custodian of any agricultural liming material, affected by a “stop order”, to sell, barter, give away, use or otherwise remove such material from the place of retention without prior written approval of the commissioner or his or her authorized representative.
