The commissioner, by regulation, may establish the assessment on all eggs or egg products not sold by the case in an amount equal to the per case assessment.
B. Louisiana egg producers shall pay this assessment at the point of first sale in Louisiana. The assessment due on eggs or egg products produced elsewhere but distributed in Louisiana shall be paid at the point of first receipt of the eggs or egg products in Louisiana.
C. The person purchasing the eggs or egg products at the first point of sale or receiving the eggs or egg products at the first point of receipt in Louisiana shall be responsible for collecting the assessment and remitting payment to the department on or before the fifteenth day of each month for collections made during the previous month. The assessment shall be remitted to the department along with such forms and information as the commissioner may require.
D. Any person who fails to pay any assessment due under the provisions of this Part within fifteen days after the payment is due shall be liable not only for the assessment but also for a late fee equal to twenty percent of the amount of the unpaid assessments. Any person cast in judgment for any unpaid assessment or late fee shall pay all costs connected with the bringing of the civil action, including reasonable attorney fees incurred by or on behalf of the commission, plus legal interest from date of judicial demand.
