If a promoter fails to pay any tax ascertained to be due under this chapter, in addition to the costs of the examination under Section 18826, if any, within 30 days after receipt of notice by the executive officer, the commission may without hearing revoke or suspend the promoter’s license and authorize the Attorney General to bring an action in superior court to collect the amount due, any fines authorized by this chapter, and attorney’s fees.

The action shall be speedily determined by the court and shall take precedence over all matters pending therein except criminal cases, applications for injunction or other matters to which special precedence has been given by law.

(Amended by Stats. 1986, Ch. 1095, Sec. 13.)
