76311
. (a) Not later than April 1, 1999, or as soon thereafter as
possible, the secretary shall establish a list of producers eligible
to vote on implementation of this chapter. In establishing the list,
the secretary may require that handlers, producers, and others submit
the names and mailing addresses of all producers. The secretary also
may require that the information provided include the quantity of
wool produced by each producer or, in the alternative, may establish
procedures for receiving the information at the time of the
referendum vote specified in Section 76312. The request for the
information shall be in writing. The information shall be filed
within 30 days following receipt of the written request.
(b) Any producer whose name does not appear on the secretary's
list may have his or her name established 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 the producer
from paying assessments.
(c) Prior to the certification of a favorable vote as provided in
Section 76315, the secretary shall allow producers to view the list
of names of producers created pursuant to subdivision (a). The list
shall be viewed only at the department and shall not be photocopied.
