(A) The director of agriculture shall annually review the debits of and credits to the agricultural commodity depositors fund created in section 926.16 of the Revised Code and shall make any adjustments in the fee required under that section that are necessary to maintain the fund within the limits established under this section. Not later than the first day of March of each year, the director shall determine the proposed amount of the fee based on the expected volume of agricultural commodities on which the fee is to be collected and that are likely to be handled under this chapter.

(2) If, at any time, the director determines that the fund balance, less any encumbered balances or pending or unsettled claims, is less than ten million dollars, the director, with the consent of the commodity advisory commission, may reinstate the fee required under division (B) of section 926.16 of the Revised Code.
