Upon request, the board may reduce or postpone the amount of per capita dues payable by a club whose locality has sustained serious damage due to natural or similar disasters. 17.030.4. Dues Payable by RIBI. Each club in RIBI shall pay its per capita dues to RI as provided in subsection 17.030.1., through RIBI, acting on behalf of RI. RIBI shall retain one half of the RI per capita dues assessed pursuant to subsection 17.030.1. and forward to RI the balance of such dues. 17.030.5. Adjustment of Payments Due. The board may adjust the payments due from the clubs in any country where the currency of such country is devalued to an extent that the clubs therein are required to pay an excessive amount of their own currency to meet their obligations to RI. 17.040.
