Sec. 100.
Amendments; hearings; referendum.
A proposed amendment to an existing wheat development program
may be requested by petition to the
Director by 5% of the affected producers from across the State or by a
two-thirds majority vote of the wheat
development board. If any amendment to an existing wheat development program
is proposed, the Director shall
hold a public hearing to consider the amendment. After the close of the

development board shall send copies of their findings to all parties of record
appearing at the hearing. A referendum may be held on the amendment in

The Director, upon recommendation of the wheat development board, shall
establish procedures necessary in the
development and adoption of the proposed amendment to an existing wheat
development program. The
procedures shall be included in the rules of the Department required by Section
