Sec. 22-242. Default.
Sec. 22-242. Default. Upon default under any condition of such bond or other
security, the Commissioner of Agriculture may give reasonable notice to producers to
file verified claims, fixing a reasonable time within which such claims shall be filed.
The commissioner shall examine each claim so filed and shall determine and certify the
amount due thereon. He may bring an action upon the bond or take such other action
as may be appropriate or necessary to convert the other security for the use of such
producers and, for the purpose of such action, the certificate of the amount due shall be
prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated. If the recovery upon the bond or other
security is not sufficient to pay all claims filed and established, the amount recovered
shall be prorated among the claimants.
