80-5-124 . Exemptions.
(1)The labeling requirements in 80-5-123 and the prohibitions in 80-5-134 do not apply to:
(a)seed or grain that is not intended for sowing purposes;
(b)seed in storage in or being transported or consigned to a cleaning or processing establishment for cleaning or processing if:
(i)the invoice or labeling accompanying that seed bears the statement "seeds for processing"; and
(ii)any labeling or representation made with respect to the uncleaned or unprocessed seed is subject to this chapter; and
(c)a carrier in respect to seed transported or delivered for transportation in the ordinary course of its business as a carrier, as long as the carrier is not engaged in producing, processing, or marketing seed that is subject to the provisions of this chapter.
(2)A person is not subject to the penalties in 80-5-136 for selling or offering for sale seeds subject to the provisions of this chapter that were incorrectly labeled or represented as to kind, species and subspecies (if appropriate), variety, type, origin, elevation, or year of collection (if required) when the seed cannot be identified by examination, unless the person has failed to obtain an invoice, genuine grower declaration, or other labeling information and has failed to take reasonable precautions to ensure the identity of the seeds. A genuine grower declaration of variety is considered an affirmation that the grower holds records of proof regarding parent seed, such as invoices and labels.
