Persons who collect wheat development program assessment funds pursuant to Section 70 of this Act shall remit those funds to the wheat development board which shall deposit the funds in an account to be used as authorized by the wheat development program.
A due and payable assessment required under the provisions of a wheat development program created under this Act constitutes a personal debt of the person so assessed or who otherwise owes the assessment. The assessment is due and payable to the wheat development board not more frequently than quarterly or when stipulated in the wheat development program and called for by the wheat development board. In the event any person fails to remit the full amount of the assessment or other sum within 30 days after the due date, the person owing the assessment shall be given an opportunity to present his case as provided for in Section 95 of this Act. When established that the assessment is correct, the wheat marketing board may add to the unpaid assessment or sum a penalty amount not exceeding 10% of the amount due plus all the cost of enforcing the collection of the assessment or amount due. If a person fails to remit any properly due assessment or sum, the wheat development board may bring a civil action for collection against the person in the circuit court of any county, together with the additional specified 10% penalty assessment, cost of enforcing the collection of the assessment, and court costs. The 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 wheat development board.
