Administrative History

The Milk Control Board was created by Chapter 158 of the Laws of 1933 to remedy "unhealthful, unfair, unjust, destructive, demoralizing and uneconomic trade practices...carried on in the production, sale and distribution of milk and milk products." The board consisted of the commissioner of agriculture and markets, the commissioner of health, and the director of the milk control board. The board was given sweeping powers to supervise and regulate the entire milk industry of the state, including the production, transportation, manufacture, storage, distribution, delivery and sale of milk and milk products; to investigate all matters pertaining to the milk industry; to act as mediator and arbitrator in any issue arising among or between milk producers or dealers; and to operate and effect other provisions of the law.

The board was empowered to adopt and enforce rules and orders necessary to carry out the provisions of the law. Orders so issued had the effect and force of law.
