Section 58938 Of Article 10. Assessments And Funds From California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 21. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 10.

. The director may, at the close of each fiscal period which
is used by the advisory board for budgetary purposes, refund any
money which remains in such fund that is allocable to any particular
commodity which is affected by a marketing order or, upon
recommendation of the advisory board and with the approval of the
director, all or a portion of such money may be carried over into the
next succeeding fiscal period if the director finds that such money
is required to defray subsequent expenses under the marketing order.
Any refund made pursuant to this section shall be on a pro rata
basis made to persons from whom, or on whose behalf, the assessments
being refunded were collected. Upon termination by the director of
any marketing order, any remaining balances which are not required by
the director to defray the expenses of such marketing order, shall
be returned by the director upon a pro rata basis, to all persons
from whom, or on whose behalf, such assessments were collected unless
the director finds that the amounts so returnable are so small as to
make impractical the computation and remitting of such pro rata
refund to such persons. If the director makes such a finding, he may
use the moneys in such fund to defray the expenses which are incurred
by him in the formulation, issuance, administration, or enforcement
of any subsequent marketing order.
