§ 3.2-1405. Referenda
The Board, upon petition by a group of corn producers representing at least 10 percent of the number of the Commonwealth's corn producers as determined by the Commissioner, may provide for a referendum on the continuation of the assessment. If the Governor shall determine that a simple majority of those voting are not in favor of the assessment, the Board shall hold no new referenda for at least one year after the Governor has declared his findings, and then only after receiving a petition signed by at least 10 percent of the number of the Commonwealth's corn producers. The cost of conducting any such referendum as above prescribed shall come from funds paid into the Virginia Corn Fund as defined in § 3.2-1411. The Board shall adopt regulations governing the conduct of referenda pursuant to § 3.2-112.
