§ 69-37-27. Suppression, pre-eradication, eradication and no-growth zones; growers to share costs; notice, referenda, penalties, and appeal of penalties.
  

The bureau is authorized to designate by regulation one or more areas of this state as "suppression zones," "pre-eradication zones" or "eradication zones" where such specified boll weevil management programs will be undertaken; provided, however, that cotton growers within each designated zone approve such programs by referendum in their respective regions under procedures set forth herein. The bureau, with the concurrence of the Certified Cotton Growers Organization, is authorized to promulgate reasonable regulations regarding areas where cotton cannot be planted within a specified management zone when there is reason to believe that growing cotton in such areas will jeopardize the success of the program or present a hazard to public health or safety. The bureau is authorized to issue regulations prohibiting the planting of noncommercial cotton in such management zones and requiring that all growers of commercial cotton in these zones participate in the specified boll weevil management program and share equitably in the cost. Such costs shall be determined by the Technical Advisory Committee of the Certified Cotton Growers Organization on the basis of the level of boll weevil infestation and the anticipated costs of the program in the various regions and shall be approved via referendum by cotton growers within the affected area under procedures set forth herein. Notice of such prohibition and requirement shall be given by publication for one (1) day each week for three (3) successive weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the affected area. The bureau is authorized to set by regulation a reasonable schedule of penalty fees to be assessed when growers in designated "management zones" do not meet the requirements of regulations issued by the bureau with respect to reporting of acreage and participation in cost-sharing as prescribed by regulation. Such penalty fees shall not exceed a charge of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per acre. The cotton grower charged with such penalties shall have the right to appeal this decision to the State Certified Cotton Growers Organization.
