(a) Any assessment levied by the commission, pursuant to this chapter, is a personal debt of every person so assessed and is due and payable in the time and manner prescribed by the commission. Failure of a vintner to collect the assessment from a producer shall not exempt the vintner from liability nor relieve the producer of the obligation to pay the assessment.
(b) When the producer or vintner is a corporation, general or limited partnership, or trust, all of the directors and officers of the corporation, all of the members and managers of the limited liability company, all of the general and limited partners in the partnership, and all of the trustees of the trust, in their capacity as individuals shall be included, and any liability for violating this chapter, including, but not limited to, failing to pay assessments or file required reports, shall also include identical liability upon each director and officer of the corporation, each member and manager of the limited liability company, each general and limited partner in the partnership, and each trustee of the trust. Title to the assessments, shall pass immediately to the commission. When collecting and remitting producer assessments, vintners shall hold the assessments in trust for the benefit of the commission until remitted in the time and manner specified by the commission.
