§ 3.1-684.11. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Subsequent referenda
If the Governor issues a proclamation under § 3.1-684.9, then no other referendum shall be held on soybeans which was the subject of the proclamation except that after the expiration of five years from the date of the imposition of the tax assessment provided for in this chapter, another referendum shall be held in the manner herein prescribed to determine whether the assessment for research, education, publicity and promotion of the sale and use of soybeans shall be continued. An additional referendum shall be held for this purpose each five years thereafter, except that the State Board, on a petition presented by a group of soybean producers representing at least thirty-three percent of the Commonwealth's production, may provide for an advisory referendum on the continuation of the assessment. The State Board shall not act on such a petition for conducting an advisory referendum until at least five years have passed from the time the Virginia Soybean Board was established. The cost of conducting any such referendum as above prescribed will come from funds paid into the Virginia Soybean Fund as defined in § 3.1-684.17.
