Each installment or required payment of the fee imposed by section 4 of this chapter becomes delinquent at midnight of the last day for payment thereof as provided in section 7 of this chapter.

The commission may enforce the collection of any delinquent installment or payment, or portion thereof by legal action or in any other manner by which the collection of debts due the state of Indiana may be enforced under the laws of this state.
