§ 76111 Cherry Producer Voting Eligibility

(a) Within 90 days after a request by the proponents of the commission, or as soon thereafter as possible, the director shall establish a list of producers eligible to vote on implementation of this chapter. In establishing the list, the director may require that processors, shippers, county agricultural commissioners, cherry producers and others, submit the names and mailing addresses of all producers. The director may also require that the information provided include the quantity of cherries marketed by producers and their district members or, in the alternative, may establish procedures for receiving the information at the time of the vote specified in Section 76112. The request for the information shall be in writing. The information shall be filed within 30 days following receipt of the written notice. (b) Any producer whose name does not appear upon the director’s list may have his or her name established on the list by filing with the director a signed statement, identifying himself or herself as a producer. Failure to be on the list does not exempt the producer from paying assessments. (Amended by Stats. 1985, Ch. 1004, Sec. 55. Effective September 26, 1985.)
