LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 482, Solache.
 California Table Grape Commission.

Existing law provides for the California Table Grape Commission, which comprises 21 grape producers, nominated in district elections by the procedures for appointment by the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, and one public member appointed by the secretary. Existing law specifies the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the commission. Existing law levies an annual assessment on all fresh grapes during each marketing assessment, at an amount fixed by the commission not to exceed $0.006522 per pound. Existing law authorizes the commission to expend revenues from those assessments and all other moneys received by the commission, including from penalties for failing to pay the assessment and civil penalties for a violation of those provisions.

This bill would revise these provisions by, among other things, changing the district borders and
 revising the nomination election and appointment processes for producer members of the commission. The bill would require the commission to annually compile and maintain a list of eligible producers who are qualified to vote in an election, and certify the list to the secretary at least 30 days before the date set for any meeting to nominate commissioners to office. The bill would expand the activities, powers, and duties of the commission to also include accepting and matching contributions of funds and making contributions of commission funds to other persons or agencies, and administering any program related to the table grape industry. The bill would increase the maximum amount of the above-described assessment to $0.02 per pound, thereby making an appropriation.

The bill would authorize a person aggrieved by an action of the commission to file a grievance with the commission or a duly authorized committee of the commission designated for that purpose, and to
 appeal from decisions of the commission to the secretary. The bill would require an action by the commission for any violation of these provisions to be commenced within 2 years from the date of discovery of the alleged violation and would require an action against the commission by any person to be commenced within 2 years from the date of the act of which the person complains.

65500.

 The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Grapes produced in California for fresh human consumption compose one of the major agricultural crops of California, and the production and marketing of these grapes affects the economy, welfare, standard of living, and health of a large number of citizens residing in this state.

(b) Increased plantings of vineyards and improved cultural practices for the production of California grapes for fresh human consumption have increased and will continue to increase the production of California grapes, and unless the fresh human consumption of California grapes is increased by the expansion of existing markets and the development of new markets, the interests of the fresh
 grape industry of California, and the public interest of the people of this state, will be ad
