At the close of the referendum period, the secretary shall count and tabulate the ballots cast during the period. If the secretary finds that the majority of voters favor imposing the fee, the fee shall be imposed within ninety days following the referendum and shall continue for a period of five years unless extended. If the majority of voters do not favor imposing the fee, the fee will not be imposed until another referendum is held and a majority of voters favor imposing the fee.
If the majority of voters do not favor imposing the fee, a second referendum may be called by the secretary if petitioned by twenty-five producers and conducted within one hundred eighty days after the referendum. If a majority of voters do not favor imposition of the fee at the second referendum, an initial referendum shall not be conducted within a period of two years.
Subsequent referendums to extend the imposition of the fee shall be held at least thirty days prior to the termination of the period for which the fee is imposed. If the majority of voters do not favor extending the imposition of the fee, the moneys remaining in the Iowa turkey account shall continue to be expended in accordance with the provisions of this chapter until exhausted.
