(1) The production, processing, distribution and sale of fluid milk for human consumption are attended by conditions which adversely affect the general welfare and result in 90 to 95 percent of the total milk production in the United States being marketed under federal and state stabilization regulations, deemed necessary to protect the interests of producers, distributors and consumers. It is therefore declared to be the policy of the State of Oregon, which imposes regulations on milk producers to assure a wholesome product for the benefit of the consuming public, to provide the necessary assistance and authority to maintain a stable milk market, to sustain the economy of the dairy industry and the economic welfare of the state and to assure an adequate and healthful supply of milk and milk products for the consuming public.
(2) The provisions of ORS 583.001, 583.004, 583.021, 583.028 and 583.410 to 583.565 are in pari materia with the provisions of ORS 583.007, 583.016 and 583.046 to 583.166. If there is a conflict, the provisions of ORS 583.001, 583.004, 583.021, 583.028 and 583.410 to 583.565 supersede the provisions of ORS 583.007, 583.016 and 583.046 to 583.166.
(3) The provisions of ORS 583.001, 583.004, 583.021, 583.028 and 583.410 to 583.565 shall not be construed to conflict with or repeal, and are in addition to and not in lieu of, any other law of this state or any municipal ordinance relating to any board of health or sanitary requirement, or any municipal ordinance relating to the inspection, grading or production of Grade A milk.
