Food and Agricultural Code section 59949

At the end of any marketing season as designated in each marketing program, after proper provision has been made for the payment of all necessary expense which is incurred in connection with the marketing season, any money which remains to the credit of the marketing program committee may be refunded upon a pro rata basis to all persons from whom certificate fees were collected.
During any marketing season, however, the marketing program committee may, with the approval of the director, carry forward any unexpended balances for expenditure during seasons subsequent to the season during which such fees were collected. Alternatively, the refund may, upon the resolution of the marketing program committee and with the approval of the director, be deferred so as to permit the marketing program committee to use the residual funds to meet operating expenses in the succeeding season or until sufficient funds have been collected, or the collection of sufficient funds is assured, to enable the committee to make the refund and to defray the expenses of the then current marketing season, including an allowance for preliminary expenses of the next succeeding season.
