§19-2F-10. Penalties.

When a person required to collect the assessment in accordance with section eight of this article fails to do so or fails to remit it to the treasurer of the Council within thirty days, the Council certifies that fact to the Commissioner. The Commissioner notifies the person in writing that he or she has fifteen days to begin the collection of the assessment, or to remit previously collected assessments to the Council's treasurer or to submit a written justification for the failure to collect or remit the assessment. If the Commissioner determines that person was required to remit the assessment and if payment is not made within the fifteen-day period, the Commissioner may revoke the person's license to engage in cattle purchasing activities in the state. Persons having their license revoked under this section are not eligible for license-reinstatement for a period of three years.
