Notice to the impaired insurer shall constitute notice to its
shareholders. The failure of the impaired insurer to promptly
comply with the demand shall not excuse the association from the

may levy a forfeiture on a member insurer that fails to pay an
assessment when due. A forfeiture shall not exceed five percent (5%)

the commissioner by a member insurer if the appeal is taken within

subject to judicial review in a court with jurisdiction in accordance
with the Indiana law that applies to the actions or orders of the
commissioner.
