Wine Marketing and Research Program
[37 Pa.B. 213]
[Saturday, January 13, 2007]Under the applicable provisions of 3 Pa.C.S. Chapter 45 (relating to Agricultural Commodities Marketing Act), a review referendum was held from November 18, 2006, to December 2, 2006, to determine if the producers affected by the Wine Marketing and Research Program wanted 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 December 13, 2006, to count the ballots. The following results were submitted by the Teller Committee: a total 56 eligible votes were cast with 45 producers voting in favor of and seven voting against the continuation of the program. An additional four ballots were invalid because they were either unsigned or represented a business that did not have an active Pennsylvania Limited Winery License. Votes favoring continuation of the program by number of producers represented 86.5% of eligible votes and votes against continuation of the program represented 13.5% of eligible votes. Because a majority of the votes were cast in favor of the program, the Pennsylvania Wine Marketing and Research Program shall continue for 5 years, effective immediately.
DENNIS C WOLFF,
Secretary
