SECTION 65660-65663
65660. Upon the finding of 11 of the members of the commission that the operation of the provisions of this chapter has not tended to effectuate its declared purposes, the commission may recommend to the director that the operation of this chapter shall be suspended; provided, that any such suspension shall not become effective until the expiration of the marketing season then current. The director shall, upon receipt of such recommendation, or upon a petition being filed with him requesting such suspension, signed by 20 percent of the producers, cause a referendum to be conducted among producers as certified by the commission in accordance with Section 65566, to determine if such operation and the operations of the commission shall be suspended, and shall establish a referendum period, which shall not be less than 10 nor more than 60 days. The director is authorized to prescribe such additional procedure as may be necessary to conduct such referendum. 65661. At the close of the referendum period established, the director shall tabulate the ballots filed during said period. If at least 40 percent of the total number of producers, as established by the director as marketing 40 percent of the total volume marketed by all producers on the list established pursuant to Sections 65559 to 65562, inclusive, during the last completed marketing season, participate in the referendum and the director finds either: (a) Sixty-five percent or more of the producers who voted in the referendum voted in favor of such suspension, and the producers so voting marketed 51 percent or more of the total quantity of table grapes marketed in the preceding marketing season by all of the producers who voted in the referendum; or (b) That 51 percent or more of the producers who voted in the referendum voted in favor of such suspension, and that the producers so voting marketed 65 percent or more of the total quantity of table grapes marketed in the preceding season by all of the producers who voted in the referendum; the director shall declare the operation of the provisions of this chapter and of the commission suspended, effective upon expiration of the marketing season then current. 65662. Upon and after the effective date of suspension of the operation of the provisions of this chapter and of the commission, as herein provided, the operations of the commission shall be wound up and any and all moneys remaining held by the commission, collected by assessment and not required to defray the expenses of winding up and terminating operations of the commission, shall be returned upon a pro rata basis to all persons from whom assessments were collected in the immediately preceding current marketing season; provided further, however, that if the commission finds that the amounts so returnable are so small as to make impractical the computation and remitting of such pro rata refund to such persons, any such moneys remaining and any moneys remaining after payment of all expenses of winding up and terminating operations shall be withdrawn from the approved depository and paid into the State Treasury as unclaimed trust moneys. 65663. Upon suspension of the operation of this chapter and of the commission, as aforesaid, a notice thereof shall be posted on a public bulletin board to be maintained by the director in his office, and a copy of such notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in each district. It shall also be the duty of the commission to mail a copy of the notice of suspension to all producers and shippers affected by such suspension whose names and addresses are on file with the commission.
