§ 26-57-607 — Failure to report and pay tax

(a) The Insurance Commissioner in his or her discretion may suspend or revoke the certificate of authority of any insurer or health maintenance organization that fails to report and pay the premium tax levied under §§ 26-57-604 and 26-57-605 on the date due or during any reasonable extension of time which may have been expressly granted by the commissioner for good cause upon the insurer's request. (b) In addition, any insurer or health maintenance organization that fails to report or pay the tax when due shall be subject to a penalty of one hundred dollars ($100) for each day of the delinquency. The penalty shall be collected by the commissioner if necessary by a civil suit therefor brought by the commissioner in the Pulaski County Circuit Court, unless the penalty is waived by the commissioner upon a showing by the insurer or organization of good cause for its failure to file its report or tax payment on or before the date due.
