Section 74770 Of Article 5. Implementation And Voting Procedures From California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 22. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 12.6. >> Article 5.
74770
. (a) Within 30 days of the effective date of this chapter,
the director shall establish a list of grape rootstock nurseries
eligible to vote on the implementation of this chapter. In
establishing the list, the director may require that all grape
rootstock nurseries submit the names and mailing addresses of all
grape rootstock nurseries. The director also may require that the
information provided include the quantity of grape rootstock produced
by each nursery or, in the alternative, may establish procedures for
receiving the information at the time of the referendum vote
specified in Section 74771. The request for the information shall be
in writing, and the requested information shall be filed within 10
days following receipt of the request.
(b) Any grape rootstock nursery whose name does not appear upon
the appropriate 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 nursery owner or representative of a nursery owner. The
absence of an owner's name from the list does not exempt the person
from paying assessments and does not invalidate any industry votes
conducted pursuant to this article.
(c) Proponents and opponents of the commission may contact
nurseries on the lists in a form and manner prescribed by the
director if all expenses associated with the contacts are paid in
advance.
