(a)
No later than 90 days from the request of proponents of the commission, the secretary shall establish a list of growers and processors eligible to vote on the implementation of this chapter. The proponents shall provide the secretary with a list of growers and processors of agave to assist in identifying eligible voters. In establishing the list, the secretary shall require that (1) growers submit their names and mailing addresses and planted acreage, (2) processors submit their names and mailing addresses and the names and addresses of growers from whom agave is received, and the paid weight to the growers during the preceding marketing season. The request for the information shall be in writing. The information shall be filed with the secretary within 10 days following receipt of the written request for information.(b)
A grower or processor whose name does not appear on the secretary’s list may have their name placed on the list by filing with the secretary a signed statement identifying themselves as a grower or processor. Failure to be on the list does not exempt the grower or processor from paying assessments under this chapter.
