(a) The rate or termination date of the salmon fishery assessment levied on salmon under AS 43.76.220 may be amended by the commissioner of revenue upon a two-thirds majority vote at an election held under AS 43.76.230 among the eligible permit holders for the fishery in which the salmon fishery assessment is levied.
(b) The commissioner of revenue shall amend the rate or termination date of a salmon fishery assessment under (a) of this section following an election among the eligible permit holders for the fishery if
(1) a petition that is signed by at least 25 percent of the interim-use permit and entry permit holders in the fishery that is the subject of the petition is presented to the commissioner of fish and game requesting amendment of the rate or termination date of the salmon fishery assessment; the petition must state, as appropriate, the proposed rate or termination date of the salmon fishery assessment to be levied under AS 43.76.220; only a person who holds an interim-use permit or entry permit for the fishery at the time of signing the petition may validly sign the petition;
(2) an election is held in accordance with AS 43.76.230; a ballot to amend the rate of the salmon fishery assessment must ask the question whether the rate of the salmon fishery assessment on salmon sold in the fishery shall be amended and must state the salmon fishery assessment to be levied under AS 43.76.220 and the termination date of the assessment if the assessment is amended; a ballot to amend the termination date of the salmon fishery assessment must ask the question whether the termination date of the salmon fishery assessment on salmon sold in the fishery shall be amended and must state the termination date of the salmon fishery assessment if the termination date is amended; the ballot must be worded so that a “yes” vote is for amendment of the salmon fishery assessment and a “no” vote is for continuation of the current salmon fishery assessment;
(3) a two-thirds majority of the eligible interim-use permit and entry permit holders in the fishery casts a ballot for the amendment of the salmon fishery assessment; in this paragraph, “eligible interim-use permit and entry permit holder” has the meaning given in AS 43.76.230; and
