(b) Within any milk shed, the board may suspend the collection of license fees or lower the license fee rate on the fifteenth day or at the end of any given month for the remainder of the current fiscal year if the board finds that the action will result in license fee collections sufficient to meet the expenditures necessary to administer chapter 157, HRS, within that milk shed for that fiscal year.
