§ 3.1-1041. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Subsequent referenda
If the Governor issues a proclamation under § 3.1-1039, then no other referendum shall be held on corn which was the subject of the proclamation except that the Board, on a petition presented by a group of corn producers representing at least ten per centum of the number of the Commonwealth's corn producers which voted in the next preceding referendum on this subject may provide for a referendum on the continuation of the assessment. The Board shall not act on such a petition for conducting a referendum until at least five years have passed from the time the Virginia Corn Board was established. 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 referendum for at least one year after the Governor has declared his findings, and then only after receiving a petition signed by at least ten per centum of the number of the Commonwealth's corn producers which voted in the most recent referendum. The cost of conducting any such referendum as above prescribed will come from funds paid into the Virginia Corn Fund as defined in § 3.1-1047.
