§ 5-13-10. Collection of delinquencies

A. A local governmental entity shall by ordinance provide that a vendor is liable

for the payment of the proceeds of convention center fees that the vendor failed to

remit to the local governmental entity. Failure of the vendor to collect the fee is not cause for the local governmental

entity to forgive convention center fees due and owed by the vendor. The ordinance shall provide for a civil penalty for each occurrence of failure to

remit convention center fees in an amount equal to the greater of ten percent of the

amount that was not duly remitted to the local governmental entity or one hundred

dollars ($100). B. The local governmental entity may bring an action in the district court of the

judicial district in which the local governmental entity is located for collection

of amounts due, including without limitation, penalties on the amounts due on the

unpaid principal at a rate not exceeding one percent per month, the costs of collection

and reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the court action to collect

the unpaid convention center fees.
