20572
. (a) If a contracting agency fails for 30 days after demand
by the board to pay any installment of contributions required by its
contract, or fails for three months after demand by the board
therefor to file any information required in the administration of
this system with respect to that agency's employees, or if the board
determines that the agency is no longer in existence, the board may
terminate that contract by resolution adopted by a majority vote of
its members effective 60 days after notice of its adoption has been
mailed by registered mail to the governing body of the contracting
agency.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 20537, if a contracting agency fails
to remit the contributions when due, the agency may be assessed
interest at an annual rate of 10 percent and the costs of collection,
including reasonable legal fees, when necessary to collect the
amounts due. In the case of repeated delinquencies, the contracting
agency may be assessed a penalty of 10 percent of the delinquent
amount. That penalty may be assessed once during each 30-day period
that the amount remains unpaid.
