Vermont § 1803 - Rules of construction

§ 1803. Rules of construction

• (a) This compact shall not be construed to displace existing federal milk marketing orders
  or state dairy regulation in the region but to supplement them. In the event some
  or all federal orders in the region are discontinued, the compact shall be construed
  to provide the Commission the option to replace them with one or more commission marketing
  orders pursuant to this compact. (b) This compact shall be construed liberally in order to achieve the purposes and intent
  enunciated in section 1801 of this compact. It is the intent of this compact to establish
  a basic structure by which the Commission may achieve those purposes through the application,
  adaptation, and development of the regulatory techniques historically associated with
  milk marketing and to afford the Commission broad flexibility to devise regulatory
  mechanisms to achieve the purposes of this compact. In accordance with this intent,
  the technical terms which are associated with market order regulation and which have
  acquired commonly understood general meanings are not defined herein but the Commission
  may further define the terms used in this compact and develop additional concepts
  and define additional terms as it may find appropriate to achieve its purposes. (Added 1993, No. 57, § 1, eff. June 3, 1993.)
