247.6954 Annual review of program -- Termination.
(1)
(2)
The board shall review the assessment program annually. If, at the end of each
marketing year after the first marketing year of the assessment program, the
board determines that twenty percent (20%) of the producers assessed have
indicated their dissatisfaction with the program by demanding a refund of the
assessment collected from them, the Commissioner shall conduct a
referendum among the producers. If, upon the referendum, a majority of the
eligible producers who vote in the referendum reject the program, it shall be
terminated at the end of the marketing year in which the referendum was
conducted; otherwise, the assessment program shall continue.
If the duly certified association of ovine and caprine animal producers
expresses in writing its desire to the Commissioner to discontinue the
assessment program and terminate the program, the Commissioner shall
within fifteen (15) days following receipt of the request convene the board to
review and act on the request. The board, after reviewing the request and
conducting whatever proceedings are deemed appropriate and necessary in
connection with the request, may terminate the program effective at the end of
the marketing year in which the board action is taken; and, in this event, the
Commissioner shall notify, by certified mail, the purchasers of ovine and
caprine animals affected by the termination of the program.
