ARTICLE 2.5. Districts |
Section 67042.
-
Beginning in the 2000–01 marketing season, districts shall be reapportioned every fifth year in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) The commission shall determine the average number of pounds of fruit actually produced by producers in each United States Postal Service ZIP Code area in California in the five crop years prior to a referendum conducted pursuant to Section 67131. The average number of pounds of fruit so determined and the poundage from each year shall be used only for purposes of this section.
(b) The commission shall, by adding the pounds in each ZIP Code area, determine the total average number of pounds of avocados produced in California in the five prior crop years.
(c) The commission shall divide the total pounds by five and the resulting number shall be known as the "pro rata poundage."
(d) The commission shall determine if the poundage in any existing district, as specified in Section 67041, varies by more than 10 percent from the pro rata poundage. In the event that such variance exists, the commission shall draw new district lines so that no district shall vary by more than 10 percent from the pro rata poundage.
