The provisions of subdivision (e) of Section 54431 only apply to any processor, handler, distributor, or agent of any such person, who refuses to negotiate or bargain, as specified by such provisions, with a cooperative bargaining association which represents producers with whom such a processor, handler, distributor, or agent of any such person, has had a prior course of dealing.
For purposes of this section, “prior course of dealing” means that the processor, handler, distributor, or agent of any such person has purchased in any two of the immediate preceding five years a commodity from a producer which a cooperative bargaining association represents. However, a processor, handler, distributor, or agent of any such person is subject to subdivision (e) of Section 54431 if that person has newly gone into business in California by locating in this state from another state or country, by being created from other business entities which had a prior course of dealing with a bargaining association, or by being newly created and utilizing substantially the same processing facilities as a prior processor which itself was subject to subdivision (e) of Section 54431.
