. (a) Upon receipt of a petition that the secretary determines
is acceptable, the secretary shall establish a list of producers who
are eligible to vote to establish the commission. In establishing
the list, the secretary may require producers, vintners, county
agricultural commissioners, and others to submit the names and
mailing addresses of all producers. The secretary 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
secretary shall be filed within 30 days following receipt of the
written notice.
(b) Any producer whose name does not appear on the secretary's
list may have his or her name included on the 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 any producer from
paying assessments under this chapter.
