Sec. 12. (a) By January 1 of each fifth year following the original recording with the board, each owner of a brand of record shall submit to the board a renewal fee to be established by the board.
(b) For the purpose of determining the renewal date, the period between the date a brand is recorded by the board and January 1 of the next year constitutes the first year of the five (5) year period.
(c) If the owner of a brand of record fails, refuses, or neglects to pay the fee by June 30 of the year in which it is due, the brand shall be forfeited and no longer carried in the record. A forfeited brand may not be issued to another person for five (5) years after the date of forfeiture. During that five (5) year period, the former owner of record may apply to the commission for reinstatement of the forfeited brand. An application for reinstatement must be accompanied by a reinstatement fee established by the board. The renewal date for a reinstatement brand remains the same.
(d) Renewal fees on reinstatement brands are due on January 1 of each fifth year following the original recording.
