§ 17. Persons who withhold sheep and/or wool production development and marketing program assessment funds pursuant to Section 15 of this Act shall remit such funds to the sheep and wool production development and marketing board which shall deposit such in an account to be used as authorized by the sheep and wool production development and marketing program.
Any due and payable assessment required under the provisions of any sheep or wool production development and marketing 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 sheep and wool production development and marketing board not more frequently than quarterly or when stipulated in the sheep and wool production development and marketing program and called for by the sheep and wool production development and marketing 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, the person owing such assessment shall be given the opportunity to present his case as provided for in Section 20 of this Act. When established that the assessment is correct, the sheep and wool production development and marketing board may add to such 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 sum due. In the event of failure of such person to remit any properly due assessment or sum, the sheep and wool production development and marketing board may bring a civil action against such person in the circuit court of any county for the collection thereof, together with the above additional specified 10% penalty assessment, cost of enforcing the collection of the assessment and court costs, including legal fees of the board, incurred by the board in enforcing payment of the assessment or debt 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 sheep and wool production development and marketing board.
