(505 ILCS 40/7) (from Ch. 5, par. 707)
Sec. 7.
Within 90 days after final approval by the temporary corn marketing
program committee of any proposed corn marketing program, the Director shall
determine by referendum whether the affected producers assent to such proposed
corn marketing program. The proposed corn marketing program is approved
when a majority of those voting in the referendum vote in favor of such
proposed corn marketing program. Following such approval the Department
shall file the program with the Secretary of State as provided in Section
5-65 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
If any proposed corn marketing program is not approved by such referendum,
no additional referendum on such corn marketing program may be held for
2 years from the date of the close of such referendum period. A succeeding
referendum shall be called by the Director upon request by petition of 2,500
producers of corn with at least 10 signers of such petition from each of
50 counties. Prior to holding a succeeding referendum, the Director shall
appoint a temporary corn marketing program committee who are corn producers
and shall follow the procedures as set forth in Section 6.
