The secretary shall establish a list of producers eligible to vote on implementation of this chapter. In establishing this list, the secretary shall require that handlers, county agricultural commissioners, and kiwifruit producers in this state submit the names, mailing addresses, and district numbers of all kiwifruit producers who produce kiwifruit. The request for such information shall be in writing. The list shall be filed within 30 days following receipt of the written notice.
Any producer of kiwifruit whose name does not appear upon the secretary’s list of producers affected may have his or her name established on that list by filing with the secretary a signed statement, identifying himself or herself as a producer. Failure to be on the list does not exempt the producer from paying assessments under this chapter.
(Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 727, Sec. 11. Effective January 1, 1996.)
