76-5-6. Land users' consent; control districts; local control committees.

Before expending or obligating moneys from the grasshopper and other range pest control fund, except for the payment of preliminary organizational costs the board [New Mexico department of agriculture] shall consult with the land users within the infested areas proposed to be treated. When fifty-one percent of the land users who represent eighty percent of the land within an infested area agree in writing to the extermination program proposed and further agree in writing to pay one-half of the sum expended by the state in the proposed extermination program for the infested area, a control district shall be created. The land users within a control district shall promptly establish, and shall elect three members to a local control committee. The members of the control committee shall, as nearly as possible, give equal area or geographical representation to the land users within a control district.
