“Rice” means all rough or “paddy” rice or milled rice (Oryza species) produced in or shipped into California, including mochi rice (sweet rice) and rice produced for seed. It does not include wild rice (Zinzania aquatica; Zinzania palustris).
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
