247.5093 Procedures to terminate assessment.
(1) The question of the levy of the assessment on small grains may be referred to a vote
of the small grains producers of the state by filing petitions with the certified <br>association containing signatures of Kentucky small grains producers equal in <br>number to ten percent (10%) of all small grains producers in the state as recorded in <br>the latest United States Census of Agriculture. If after the petitions are filed and at <br>the referendum election a majority of Kentucky small grains producers voting on <br>the question vote against the levy on small grains, the assessment shall be <br>terminated at the end of the marketing year in which the referendum was conducted; <br>otherwise, the assessment program shall continue.
(2) If the duly certified association of small grains producers expresses in writing its
desire to the Commissioner to discontinue the assessment program and terminate <br>the program, the Commissioner shall within fifteen (15) days following receipt of <br>the request convene the board to review and act on the request. The board, after <br>reviewing the request and conducting whatever proceedings are deemed appropriate <br>and necessary in connection with the request, may terminate the program effective <br>at the end of the marketing year in which the board action is taken; and, in this <br>event, the Commissioner shall notify, by certified mail, the purchasers of small <br>grains affected thereby of the termination of the program.
