74622
. (a) Not later than April 1, 1987, the director shall
establish a list of vintners who are eligible to vote on the
implementation of this chapter. Eligibility shall be based on volume
processed in the immediately preceding marketing season. In
establishing the list, the director may require producers, vintners,
county agricultural commissioners, and others to submit the names and
mailing addresses of all vintners. The director also may require
that the information provided include the quantity of winegrapes sold
to vintners and the quantity of winegrapes processed by vintners or,
in the alternative, may establish procedures for receiving the
information at the time of the referendum. The request for this
information shall be in writing. The information required by the
director shall be filed within 30 days following receipt of the
written notice.
(b) Any vintner whose name does not appear on the director's list
may have his or her name included on the list by filing with the
director a signed statement identifying himself or herself as a
vintner. Failure to be on the list does not exempt the vintner from
paying assessments under this chapter.
