Cal. Food & Agr. Code § 69032
The secretary may require the commission to correct or cease any existing activity or function that is determined by the secretary not to be in the public interest or to be in violation of this chapter.
If the commission refuses or fails to cease those activities or functions or to make corrections required by the secretary, the secretary may, upon written notice, suspend all or a portion of the activities or functions of the commission until the cessation or correction of activities or functions as required by the secretary has been accomplished by the commission.
Actions of the commission in violation of the written notice are without legal force or effect. The secretary, to the extent feasible, shall issue written notice prior to the commission entering into any contractual relationship affecting the existing or proposed activities or functions that are the subject of the written notice.
Upon service of the written notice, the secretary shall notify the commission in writing of the specific acts that the secretary determines are not in the public interest or are in violation of this chapter, the secretary's reasons for requiring a cessation or correction of specific existing or proposed activities or functions, and the secretary may make recommendations that will make those activities or functions acceptable.
