§ 64308

If any handler or producer-handler does not provide the information necessary to determine the amount of fees due, when required, the director shall estimate the amount due from the records of the department or from any other source of information which is available. In any action by the director to recover fees pursuant to this chapter, a certificate of the director which shows the amount determined by the director to be required to be paid by the person that is required to pay the fees is prima facie evidence of the delinquency of the amount which is shown. The presumption established by this section is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.
