§ 65662. — 65662. (Amended by Stats. 2025, Ch. 614, Sec. 43.)

Upon and after the effective date of suspension of the operation of the commission, the operations of the commission shall be wound up and any and all moneys remaining held by the commission, collected by assessment in the prior marketing year and not required to defray the expenses of winding up and terminating operations of the commission, shall be returned upon a pro rata basis to all persons from whom assessments were collected in the immediately preceding current marketing season; provided further, however, that if the commission finds that the amounts so returnable are so small as to make impractical the computation and remitting of that pro rata refund to those persons, any moneys remaining from assessments collected in the prior marketing year after payment of all expenses of winding up and terminating operations shall be paid to a state or
federal program benefiting the California table grape industry, or to a private organization that has received tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service and that benefits the California table grape industry. Moneys from prior assessment years, investments, investment income, and remaining grant funds shall be paid to a state or federal program benefiting the California table grape industry, or to a private organization that has received tax-exempt stats from the Internal Revenue Service and benefits the California table grape industry.
