Statute text

Prior to the beginning of each marketing season, or as soon as possible thereafter, the commission shall establish assessment rates for the marketing season, as follows:

(a)An annual assessment on producers of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) and not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), as determined by the commission, based on the number of tons of winegrapes marketed during the preceding marketing season.

(b)In addition, producers shall pay an assessment not less than one dollar ($1) and not greater than twelve dollars ($12) per ton of winegrapes marketed by producers. In the discretion of the commission, the producer assessment may be established as a percent of the gross dollar value received by producers for winegrapes rather than on a per ton basis. The assessment shall be established on a sliding scale that decreases the assessment by two dollars ($2) per ton, or the percentage equivalent if the assessment is a percent of gross dollar value, for every 500 tons of winegrapes marketed by producers in excess of 1000 tons.
