Persons who collect milk promotion program assessment funds pursuant to Section 14 of this Act shall remit such funds to the Milk Promotion Board which shall deposit said funds in an account to be used as authorized by the milk promotion program.
Any due and payable assessment required under the provisions of any milk promotion program created under this Act constitutes a personal debt of every person so assessed or who otherwise owes such assessment. Such assessment is due and payable to the Milk Promotion Board not more frequently than monthly or when stipulated in the milk promotion program and called for by the Milk Promotion Board. In the event any person fails to remit the full amount of such due assessment or such other sum within 30 days after the due date, a person owing such assessment shall be given an opportunity to present his case as provided for in Section 18 of this Act. When established that the assessment is correct, the Milk Promotion Board may add to such unpaid assessment or sum penalty amount not exceeding 10% of the amount due plus all of the costs of enforcing the collection of the assessment or sum due. In the event of failure of such person to remit any proper assessment or sum, the Milk Promotion Board may bring a civil action against such person in the circuit court of the county in which such person resides for the collection thereof, together with the above additional specific 10% penalty assessment, the cost of enforcing the collection of the assessment and court costs. Such action shall be tried and judgment rendered as in any other cause of action for debts due and payable. All assessments are due and payable to the Milk Promotion Board.
