Sec. 30. Referenda; petitions. Within 90 days after final approval of any proposed wheat development program
by the temporary wheat
development program committee,
the Director shall determine by referendum whether
the affected producers assent to
the proposed wheat development program. The proposed wheat development
program is approved when a
majority of those voting in the referendum vote in favor of the proposed wheat
development program. Following
approval of the program, the Department shall file the program with the
Secretary of State
as provided in Section 5-65 of the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
If a proposed wheat development program is not approved by

referendum shall be called by the Director upon request by petition
of 500 producers of wheat from across the State. Before holding an additional
referendum, the
Director shall appoint a temporary wheat development program committee
consisting of 7 members who are
wheat producers nominated by an association representing wheat producers. The temporary wheat development program committee shall
follow
the procedures set forth in Section 25.
