Commission may lower rate of assessment; date on which assessment is due; penalty for delinquent payment.
1. The Commission may lower the rate of any assessment required to be paid under NRS 584.647 or 584.648, whenever it finds that the cost of administering the provisions of this chapter can be defrayed from revenues derived from the lower rates.
2. A distributor shall pay the amount of the assessment to the Commission on or before the 20th of the month following the month during which the fluid milk, fluid cream, butter or fresh dairy product was distributed. If the payment is sent by mail, it is subject to the provisions of NRS 238.100. If the assessment for the month is less than $3, the distributor may delay payment for 3 months or until the cumulative assessments are $3 or more, whichever occurs first.
3. If payments of assessments are not made as provided in subsection 2, the Commission shall charge, as a penalty for the late payment, the amount of $10 or 10 percent of the total amount due but remaining unpaid, whichever is greater.
