A. An inspection fee shall be paid to the board for all commercial feeds distributed in New Mexico. The fee shall not exceed fifteen cents ($.15) per ton, or, for each brand of commercial feed distributed in individual packages of ten pounds or less, a distributor shall pay an annual inspection fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00) and shall not pay the tonnage fee on such packages of the brand so registered. B. Fees collected shall not exceed the costs of inspection, sampling and analysis and other expenses necessary for the administration of the New Mexico Commercial Feed Act. Fees collected shall constitute a fund for the payment of the costs of inspection, sampling and analysis and other expenses necessary for the administration of that act. C. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person who distributes commercial feed in New Mexico shall: (1) file, not later than the last day of January, April, July and October of each year, a quarterly statement setting forth the number of net tons of commercial feeds distributed in New Mexico during the preceding calendar quarter and, upon filing the statement, shall pay the inspection fee. When more than one person is involved in the distribution of commercial feed, the person who distributes to the consumer is responsible for reporting the tonnage and paying the inspection fee unless the report and payment have been made by a prior distributor of the feed; and (2) keep such records as may be necessary or required by the board to indicate accurately the tonnage of commercial feeds distributed in New Mexico, and the board may examine those records to verify statements of tonnage. If a quarterly report is not filed or if the inspection fee is not paid within the thirty-day period after the end of a quarter, a penalty of twenty percent, or a sum of ten dollars ($10.00), whichever is greater, will be due in addition to the inspection fees, and the inspection fees and the penalty shall constitute a debt for which suit may be brought by the board. D. Failure to make an accurate statement of tonnage or to pay the inspection fee or comply with the provisions of the New Mexico Commercial Feed Act shall constitute sufficient cause for the cancellation of all registrations on file for the distributor.
