• (a) Beginning July 1, 2005, each pharmacy’s monthly assessment shall be $0.10 for each
  prescription filled and refilled. (b) Each pharmacy shall declare and provide supporting documentation to the Commissioner
  of the total number of prescriptions filled and refilled in the previous month and
  remit the assessment due for that month. The declaration and payment shall be due
  by the end of the following month. (c) Each pharmacy shall submit its assessment payment to the Department monthly. Variations
  in payment timing shall be permitted as deemed necessary by the Commissioner. (d) Any pharmacy that fails to pay an assessment to the Department on or before the due
  date shall be assessed a late payment penalty of two percent of the assessment amount
  for each month it remains unpaid; but late payment penalties for any one quarter shall

  good cause shown by the pharmacy, as determined by the Commissioner in his or her
  discretion. (Added 2005, No. 71, § 289; amended 2009, No. 156 (Adj. Sess.), § I.57.)
