ORS 578.255 Penalty for delaying transmittal of assessment moneys

In addition to the penalty established in ORS 578.990, any person who delays transmittal of assessment moneys beyond the time set by the Oregon Wheat Commission shall pay a civil penalty to the commission of 10 percent of the amount due and shall also pay one and one-half percent interest per month on the unpaid balance of the assessment.

The commission may waive the penalty and interest described in subsection (1) of this section upon a showing of good cause.

Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, if an assessment is collected pursuant to a federal marketing order or agreement, the commission may establish a penalty or interest rate that is consistent with that order or agreement.
