77121
. (a) The secretary shall establish a list of producers
eligible to vote on implementation of this chapter. In establishing
the list, the secretary shall 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 walnuts 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 77123. 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 placed 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) Proponents and opponents of the commission may contact
producers on the list in a form and manner prescribed by the
secretary so long as all expenses associated with the contacts are
paid in advance.
