§ 75635 Handler Assessment Liability

• •If you're a handler, you must pay the assessments to the commission.
• •Even if you forget to collect the money from others, you still have to pay.
• •Producers still have to pay their part, no matter what.

A farmer sells milk to a dairy handler, but the handler forgets to collect the assessment fee from the farmer.

The handler still has to pay the fee to the commission, even if they didn’t collect it from the farmer. The farmer also still has to pay their share.
