(a) Any person subject to the assessment levied by Section 30 of this Act may request a refund as provided in this Section of the assessment paid on production for the preceding calendar year. Upon compliance with the provisions of this Section and rules adopted by the Board to implement this Section, the Board shall refund to each person requesting a refund the amount of the assessment paid by or on behalf of the person during the preceding calendar year. Refunds made to producers will include interest earned at the rate equal to the average United States Treasury bill rate of the preceding calendar year as documented from government sources.

The Board shall give notice of the availability of the refund through press releases or another means it deems appropriate.
(c) Each person requesting a refund shall execute an affidavit showing the amount of refund requested and demonstrating that the affiant was the interest owner of the production for which the refund is requested. The Board may verify the accuracy of the request for refund.
(d) No entity or person requesting a refund under this Section shall be eligible to serve or have a representative serve as a member of the Board.
