§ 25-12-16 — Reinspection; Payment of Fees

(a) Boilers and pressure vessels subject to operating certificate inspections by special inspectors, or owner or user inspectors, shall be inspected within 60 calendar days following the required reinspection date. Inspections not performed within this 60 calendar day period shall result in a fine of five hundred dollars ($500) for each boiler or pressure vessel not inspected.
(b)(1) Inspection fees due on boiler and pressure vessels subject to inspection by the chief or deputy inspectors or operating certificate fees due from inspections performed by special inspectors, or owner or user inspectors, shall be paid within 60 calendar days of completion of the inspections.
(2) Inspection fees or operating certificate fees unpaid within 60 calendar days shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5 percent per month or any fraction of a month. Interest shall continue to accrue until all amounts due, including interest, are received by the secretary.
(c) The secretary may waive the collection of the penalties and interest assessed as provided in subsections (a) and (b) when it is reasonably determined that the delays in inspection or payment were unavoidable or due to the action or inaction of the department.
