§6810 Confidentiality

Summary

How a person voted in a referendum must be kept secret. If someone knowingly makes that voting information public, or breaks the confidentiality rules in an order under section 6804(j)(2), they can be fined $1,000 to $10,000, put in jail for up to 1 year, or both. If the person is an officer or employee of the Department of Agriculture or the PromoFlor Council, they will be removed from office. Information collected under this law can only be shared with Federal agencies to carry out the law or for investigations or enforcement needed for that purpose. Congress must still be allowed access to the information.
