In lieu of other procedures which are provided in this article, the director may, if he finds that any person has exceeded any quota, allotment, or marketable percentage which is fixed for him pursuant to any marketing order issued by the director pursuant to this chapter, and if the director further finds that such person did not intend to violate such quota, allotment, or marketable percentage, make demand on such person to pay to the director an amount equal to the market value of the quantity marketed in excess of such quota, allotment, or percentage.
Such market value shall be only the cost of acquisition to the person that is concerned and does not include the value of services or commodities which are added subsequent to acquisition. Payment of such amount shall preclude any further enforcement action in connection with such transaction. If such person refuses to pay, or fails to pay, the amount which is demanded, the director shall thereupon proceed in accordance with the other provisions of this article. Any money which is recovered pursuant to this section shall be deposited in accordance with Section 58937.
