Section 5-14-10 - Collection of delinquenciesA. 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.

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.
