A. In order to defray necessary expenses he incurs in the formulation, issuance, administration and enforcement of any orders in a district, and advertising and sales promotion costs for the district, the director shall prepare a budget for these expenses, but the total budget shall not exceed an amount equal to one dollar ($1.00) for each bale of cotton grown in the district. He shall issue an order including provision for collection of necessary fees to cover the amount of the budget, together with conditions for payment. Each grower, ginner or shipper of cotton within the district shall pay fees to the director for the time and in the manner prescribed by the order.
B. Any money collected by the director shall be deposited in the "cotton district fund" in a federal depository and disbursed by the district board of directors concerned for actual salaries and expenses incurred under the Cotton District Act. Any money remaining in the fund may be refunded at the close of any marketing season upon a pro rata basis to all persons from whom it was collected, or it may be held over for the following year's expenses.
C. Any fee assessed under this section constitutes a personal debt of the person assessed and is subject to collection by the director in a civil action.
