North Carolina General Statutes § 106-795 Use of assessments; Refunds

(a)        The Department shall remit all funds collected under this Article to the Association at least monthly.  The Association shall use the funds to promote the interests of the pork industry.  In order to prevent duplication of effort, these funds shall not be used for activities funded under 7 U.S.C. Chapter 79, Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information.

(b)        A pork producer may request a refund of an assessment deducted from the sales price of a porcine animal sold by the producer by submitting a written request for a refund to the Association within 30 days after the buyer of the animal collected the assessment.  A refund request must be accompanied by proof of payment of the assessment satisfactory to the Association.  The Association shall mail a refund to the producer within 30 days of receipt of a properly documented refund request.
