(505 ILCS 130/7) (from Ch. 5, par. 557)
Sec. 7.
If any marketing program or amendment to an existing marketing program
is proposed under Section 6 of this Act, the Director shall appoint a
temporary operating committee consisting of 7 members who are soybean
producers to develop such proposed marketing program. Such proposal shall be
considered at a public hearing. After the close of the public hearing the
Director and temporary operating committee shall send copies of their
findings to all parties of record appearing at the hearing. If such
proposal is approved by the temporary operating committee, a
referendum shall be held thereon in accordance with Section 8 of this Act.
The Director, upon recommendation of the temporary operating committee,
shall establish procedures for the qualifications of producers for
marketing programs, for the participation of producers in hearings and
referenda and other procedures necessary in the development and adoption of
marketing programs. Procedures relative to the adoption of any marketing
program or amendment to an existing marketing program shall not be subject
to the provisions of The Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. However,
the Director shall take any necessary steps to inform affected persons of
the procedures, including publication of the procedures in the Illinois Register.
