A claim for a refund shall be made to the board of directors of the Colorado beef council authority, hereinafter referred to as the “board”, within ten days after the date of the brand inspection.(2)
Only the person who paid the fee shall submit a claim for a refund to the board. A written and signed request for a refund of such fee and a copy of the Colorado brand inspection certificate shall be required for such refund. A person may submit a claim by facsimile or by mail. The postmark date or the facsimile confirmation date shall be used to determine the timeliness of a claim.(3)
The board, before processing or making a refund, may require any additional information or verification it deems necessary to determine the validity of the claim for such refund.

The board may file an action to recover a refund of a fee from any person who has obtained such refund illegally.(4)
Any person who files a fraudulent or false claim for a refund, or who by any false pretenses obtains or attempts to obtain a refund not legally due to such person, or who signs a refund claim in the name of and for another person commits theft, as defined in section 18-4-401, C.R.S., and shall be punished according to law.
