§ 4:10-55.
No marketing program or major amendment shall be effective unless the secretary finds
through referendum: (a) Written consent has been voted by not less than 65% of the producers voting in
the referendum who are engaged in the production or producer marketing of at least
51% by volume of the agricultural commodity of those voting; or (b) Written consent has been voted by producers who engage in the production or producer
marketing of 65% of the volume of the agricultural commodity of those voting and who
represent not less than 51% of the total number of producers voting in the referendum. Volume shall be determined on the basis of the quantity of the commodity produced
in the next preceding marketing season in New Jersey or that area of New Jersey to
be covered by the marketing program or amendment. To facilitate the conduct of the referendum and to delineate those producers subject
to the provisions of this act, the secretary or advisory council may limit eligibility
for voting in and application of the referendum to those producers who produced a
reasonable minimum amount, as determined by the secretary or council, of the affected
commodity during the year immediately preceding the year in which the referendum is
held and who are producing such commodity during the year of the referendum. Nonprofit associations of producers who have the written consent of members to vote
for them in referenda concerned with marketing programs may cast a bloc vote for such
members in any referendum provided for in this act.
