Rhode Island General Laws Title 4. Animals and Animal Husbandry § 4-8-8. Statement of disbursements--Additional bonds

A person or corporation licensed under this chapter shall make a statement under oath of his, her, or its disbursements during a period to be prescribed by the director of environmental management, containing the names of the persons from whom products were purchased, the amount purchased and the amount due to the vendors. Those statements shall be submitted to the director, when requested by him or her, and shall be in the form prescribed by the director. If it appears from a statement or other facts ascertained by the director, upon inspection or investigation of the books and papers of the licensee, as authorized by § 4-8-12, that the security afforded to persons selling milk and cream to that licensee by the bond executed by that licensee as provided does not adequately protect the vendors, the director may require that licensee to give an additional bond, to be executed in a sum determined by the director, but not exceeding by more than fifty percent (50%) the maximum amount paid out by that licensee to sellers of milk in any one month.
