He breaks down procedural updates, introduces new board members, discusses quota administration issues, and explores the intriguing possibility of using a state bond to retire quota. Paul also provides important guidance on ballot signature requirements ahead of June’s upcoming referendum and dives into a tense series of hardship relief requests. Stay informed on how these developments may shape the future of the quota program in California.Resources:> Previous Episode: Breaking Down Quota Results with Anja Raudabaugh> CDFA Producer Record Update Form
