  1. Any assessment established in accordance with this article shall constitute a personal debt of every person so assessed and shall be due and payable to the commission when payment is called for by the commission. If such person fails to pay any such assessment, the commission may file an action against such person in a court of competent jurisdiction for the collection thereof.
  2. In the event that any person duly assessed pursuant to this article fails to pay to the commission the amount so assessed, the commission shall be authorized to add to such unpaid assessment an amount not exceeding 10 percent of such unpaid assessment to defray the cost of enforcing the collection of the unpaid assessment.
  3. The provisions of this Code section shall be cumulative, and any other remedies may be pursued concurrently until satisfaction is obtained. Any penalty recovered shall become a part of the principal assessment levied and shall be for the use of the commission.
