Referendum on Continuation of the Pennsylvania Potato Research Program [46 Pa.B. 2426]
[Saturday, May 14, 2016]Under the applicable provisions of 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 4501—4513 (relating to Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act), a review referendum was held from April 4, to April 18, 2016, to determine if the producers affected by the Pennsylvania Potato Research Program (Program) desired to continue the Program for an additional 5 years. To pass, a majority of eligible producers voting had to vote in favor of the Program's continuation. An impartial Teller Committee met on April 27, 2016, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total of 34 eligible votes were cast with 31 producers voting in favor of and 3 voting against the continuation of the Program. One additional ballot was invalid because the eligibility requirements were not met. Votes favoring continuation of the Program by number of producers represented 91% of eligible votes and votes against continuation of the Program represented 9% of eligible votes. Because a majority of the votes were cast in favor of the Program, the Program shall continue for 5 years, effective immediately.
