COLLECTION OF ASSESSMENTS ON POTATOES AND PEACHES.

IF ANY PERSON, QUALIFIED TO VOTE IN A REFERENDUM
IN WHICH POTATOES OR PEACHES ARE THE AGRICULTURAL
COMMODITY, FAILS TO MAKE ANY PROTEST AGAINST THE
ASSESSMENT AND LEVY IN WRITING, ADDRESSED TO THE
CERTIFIED AGENCY REPRESENTING THE COMMODITY CONCERNED,
WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE THE ASSESSMENT BECOMES
DUE AND PAYABLE, AND THE CERTIFIED AGENCY CONCERNED
BAY INSTITUTE JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS TO ENFORCE THE
COLLECTION OF THE ASSESSMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §83U of the Code. The present
reference to "commission, council, board" is
proposed for deletion in subsection (c)
because these bodies are encompassed within
the definition of "certified agency", as
defined in §10-101 (c). The phrase "growers
or producers" is proposed for deletion and
"person qualified to vote in a referendum In
which potatoes and peaches are the
agricultural commodity" is added. This
language is to maintain consistency with the
definition in §10-101(d). The only other
changes made are in style.
