(1)The board shall review the assessment program annually. If, at the end of each year
after the first year of the assessment program, the board determines that the
producers in the referendum area representing fifty percent (50%) of the production
of milk are not participating in the program, the commissioner shall then conduct a
referendum among the producers in such area. If, upon such referendum, a majority
of the producers in such area reject such program, it shall be terminated as at the
end of the month in which such referendum for such area was conducted and held;
otherwise such assessment program shall continue in force and effect.
(2)If the certified commission, council, board, association, or other agency of
producers expresses in writing its desire to the commissioner to discontinue the
assessment program and terminate the same, the commissioner shall within fifteen
(15)days following receipt of such request convene the board to review and act on
such request. The board, after reviewing such request and conducting whatever
proceedings are deemed appropriate and necessary in connection with such request,
may terminate such program effective at the end of the month in which such board
action is taken; and in this event the commissioner shall notify, by certified mail,
the purchasers of such agricultural commodity of the termination of such program.
