(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 there is
dissatisfaction with the program, the Commissioner shall then conduct a referendum
among the handlers in the area. If upon the referendum, a majority of the handlers
voting in the area reject the program, it shall be terminated at the end of the year in
which the referendum for the area was conducted; otherwise, the assessment
program shall continue in force and effect.
(2)If the duly certified association 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 year in which the board action is taken; and, in this event, the Commissioner
shall notify, by registered or certified mail, the handlers affected thereby of the
termination of the program.
