§ 4:13-26.
Where any person, partnership, firm or corporation has voluntarily become a member
of a nonprofit co-operative agricultural marketing association incorporated pursuant
to chapter 13 of Title 4 of the Revised Statutes, and when any such member shall contract
prior to harvest with any buyer, handler or processor for the sale of agricultural
commodities, such member may authorize by an appropriate provision in a contract with
the association or by a separate request, any such buyer, handler or processor of
agricultural commodities to make deductions from moneys due such member in such amounts
as may be agreed upon by the member and the association in their agreement and the
buyer, handler or processor shall forward all moneys so deducted to such designated
association on or before the fifteenth of the month following the month in which payment
is made to the member, together with a statement showing the amount of agricultural
commodities delivered by the member to buyer, handler or processor from which deductions
are made. Buyers, handlers, or processors may, however, retain 5% of such deductions to cover
cost of bookkeeping involved. It shall be unlawful for any buyer, handler, or processor to fail or refuse to make
such deductions and forward such payments as prescribed herein and in the event of
such failure or refusal, the buyer, handler or processor shall be liable to such association
in a civil action for a sum equal to the amount of the deductions, plus interest,
costs, and a reasonable counsel fee.
