3-1236. Collection of additional amounts at
time of brand inspection; disbursement
A. In addition to the brand inspection fee provided in section 3-1337, the
department shall collect from producers an additional amount of not to exceed one dollar
per head, as determined by the council, on cattle under the same authority and at the
same time, place and manner as such brand inspections are made. This subsection shall
not apply to cattle being inspected when no change in ownership is involved. This
subsection applies to calves aged one month and younger only if the federal order
implementing the national beef promotion and research act of 1985 establishes an
assessment on these animals. If the federal order is not approved by referendum as
provided for in 7 United States Code section 2906(a) or (b) on or before December 31,
1988, calves aged one month and younger are exempt from this subsection.
B. When depositing fees, pursuant to sections 35-146 and 35-147, the department
shall make a separate and distinct accounting of monies collected under the provisions of
subsection A of this section. The council may use five per cent of the monies collected
under this article for administering this article.
