Assessments and funds
Official statutory text
collected unless the commissioner finds that the amounts so returnable are so small as to make impractical the computation and remitting of such pro rata refund to such persons. If the commissioner makes such a finding, he may use the monies in such fund to defray the expenses which are incurred by him in the formulation, issuance, administration, or enforcement of any subsequent marketing order.
P. Any check or warrant which is drawn against the funds of any marketing order which remains unclaimed or uncashed for a period of six months from the date of issuance shall be canceled and the money retained for disbursement to the original payee or claimant upon satisfactory identification for a period of one year from the time the check or warrant is canceled. The money so retained, if not claimed within the period of one year, shall be credited to the then currently operating marketing order for the commodity under which the funds so retained were collected. If there is no marketing order then in effective operation for the commodity, the funds shall be credited to the unexpended balance, if any, of the last previous marketing order for the commodity. If there is no marketing order then in current operation, or no balance exists from any previous marketing order to which the funds may be credited, the funds so retained may be expended by the commissioner for the benefit of any marketing order established under the provision of this Chapter.
Q. Each marketing order or agreement shall be charged the amounts which are computed by the commissioner as required to reasonably provide for services to be rendered to such marketing orders by the department. Such amounts are subject to approval by the advisory board which is concerned, shall be included in each budget which recommended to and approved by the commissioner, pursuant to Subsections C and D of this Section, and shall be withdrawn as required by the commissioner and expended only for the necessary expenses which are incurred by the commissioner in the administration of this Chapter. Effective three years from implementation of any marketing order, the advisory board shall include in its budget any costs incurred by the department in the promotion and marketing of the products included in such marketing order.
