19-1-706. Collection of delinquent payments from political subdivision. (1) The purpose of this section is to encourage compliance with the federal deposit and reporting procedures, not to produce revenue. Therefore, the state agency may waive part or all of the interest penalty when, in the opinion of the board, a reasonable explanation has been submitted in writing by the political subdivision.
(2) Delinquent payments due under 19-1-704 may, with interest at the rate of 9% a year, or $10 per day, whichever is greater, be recovered by action in a court of competent jurisdiction against the political subdivision liable therefor or may, at the request of the state agency, be deducted from any other moneys payable to the subdivision by any department, agency, or fund of the state.
