The secretary, by action prosecuted by the secretary, may recover any unpaid assessments. In any action, a certificate of the secretary that shows the amount, including the penalty, determined by the secretary to be required to be paid by the person required to pay this amount is prima facie evidence of the delinquency. The presumption established by this section is a presumption affecting the burden of proof.
