(1)The question of the levy of the assessment on corn may be referred to a vote of the

corn producers of the state by filing petitions with the certified association

containing signatures of Kentucky corn producers equal in number to ten percent

(10%) of all corn producers in the state as recorded in the latest United States

Census of Agriculture. If after the petitions are filed and at the referendum election

a majority of Kentucky corn producers voting on the question vote against the levy

on corn, the assessment shall be terminated at the end of the marketing year in

which the referendum was conducted; otherwise, the assessment program shall

continue.

(2)If the duly certified association of corn producers expresses in writing its desire to

the Commissioner to discontinue the assessment program and terminate the

program, the Commissioner shall within fifteen

(15)days following receipt of the

request convene the board to review and act on the request. The board, after

reviewing the request and conducting whatever proceedings are deemed appropriate

and necessary in connection with the request, may terminate the program effective

at the end of the marketing year in which the board action is taken; and, in this

event, the Commissioner shall notify, by certified mail, the purchasers of corn

affected thereby of the termination of the program.
