§ 4.1-05-12 — Refund of assessment - Required certification by attorney general

1. When the attorney general certifies to the commission that refunds of assessments
paid in accordance with this chapter are no longer precluded by the Dairy Research
and Promotion Act [7 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.] or by any other applicable law, the
commission may provide refunds to producers.
2. a. To receive a refund of any assessment paid in accordance with this chapter, a
producer shall submit to the commission a written request for refund application
within sixty days after the date of the assessment or final settlement.
b. The producer shall complete the refund application and return the application to
the commission, together with a record of the assessment paid, within ninety
days after the date of the assessment or final settlement. The commission shall
then refund the net amount of the assessment that had been collected.
c. If a request for a refund is not submitted to the commission within the prescribed
time period, the producer is presumed to have agreed to the assessment.
