§ 73351 Producer Referendum Requirements

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about a vote that happened a long time ago (between October 1987 and September 1988).
  • •Producers (like farmers or makers) got to vote on whether to keep some rules in place.
  • •If most producers said 'yes,' the rules stayed. If they said 'no,' the rules stopped after September 1988.
  • •No special money or security was needed to hold this vote.

Example

Imagine a group of farmers voting on whether to keep sharing their crops in a certain way.

If most farmers voted 'yes,' they kept sharing crops the same way. If they voted 'no,' they stopped after September 1988 and split any leftover money.
