Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-18-245: Assessment of fees

A. 1. There is hereby assessed a fee of one cent ($0.01) per

bushel upon all sorghum marketed by sorghum producers in this state

and sold or handled through commercial channels. The fee shall be

assessed and imposed upon the sorghum producer at the time of sale

or delivery and shall be collected and remitted by the first

purchaser to the Commission. Pursuant to the provisions of the

Oklahoma Sorghum Resources Act, no sorghum shall be subject to

assessment of a fee more than once.

2. No assessments for sorghum shall be collected in accordance

with this section while a national checkoff program for sorghum

established pursuant to 7 CFR 1221 remains in effect. The

collection of assessments in accordance with this section shall be

reinstated upon suspension or termination of the program for sorghum

established pursuant to 7 CFR 1221.

B. 1. The first purchaser shall collect the assessment by

deducting the appropriate amount from the purchase price of the

sorghum or from any funds advanced for that purpose.

2. The Commission, by registered or certified mail, shall

notify each first purchaser of the duty to collect the assessment,

the manner in which the assessment is to be collected, and the date

on or after which the first purchaser is to begin collecting the

assessment.

3. The amount of the assessment collected shall be clearly

shown on the sales invoice or other document evidencing the

transaction. The first purchaser shall furnish a copy of the

document to the sorghum producer.

4. The Commission shall establish through bylaws the procedures

for the collection and remittance of the assessment.

C. Any unexpended balance contained in the Oklahoma Sorghum

Resources Fund as of November 1, 2017, shall be transferred and

deposited to the credit of the General Revenue Fund of the State

Treasury.
