(a)

Determination of violation. If a customer does not pay all or a portion the fee on or before the 30th business day after the director mails the bill, the customer's bill becomes delinquent, and the director may determine the customer to be in violation of this article.

(b)

Notice of delinquency. The director, on or before the 15th business day after a customer's bill becomes delinquent, shall mail or deliver to the customer notice of delinquency.
