Within 90 days after the effective date of this chapter, the director shall establish a list of producers, processors, and shippers eligible to vote on the implementation of this chapter. In establishing the list, the director shall require that processors and shippers of strawberries in California submit the names, mailing addresses, and the volume of strawberries received during the preceding marketing season from each producer of strawberries in California. The request for the information shall be in writing. The information shall be filed within 30 days following receipt of the written request for information.
Any producer, processor, or shipper of strawberries, whose name does not appear upon the director’s list may have his or her name placed on the list by filing with the director a signed statement, identifying himself or herself as a producer, processor, or shipper. Failure to be on the list does not exempt the producer, processor, or shipper from paying assessments under this chapter.
