(505 ILCS 115/7) (from Ch. 5, par. 1057)
Sec. 7.
Within 120 days after final approval by the temporary sheep
and wool production development and marketing program committee of any proposed
sheep and wool production development or marketing program, the Director
shall determine by referendum whether the affected producers assent to such
proposed sheep and wool production development or marketing program. The
proposed sheep and wool production development and marketing program is
approved when a majority of those voting in the referendum vote in favor
of such proposed sheep and wool production development and marketing program.
If any proposed sheep and wool production development and marketing program
is not approved by such referendum, no additional referendum on such sheep
and wool production development and 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 written petition
of 400 producers of sheep and/or wool with at least 5 signers of such petition
from each of 25 counties. Prior to holding a succeeding referendum, the
Director shall appoint a temporary sheep and wool production development
and marketing program committee who are sheep and/or wool producers and
shall follow the procedures as set forth in Section 6.
