§ 17:48E-36 — Annual financial statement

a. Every health service corporation transacting business in this State shall annually on or before the first day of March file in the Department of Insurance a statement, subscribed and sworn to by its principal officers, showing its financial condition at the close of business on the thirty-first day of December of the year last preceding, and its business for that year, which statement shall be in that form and contain those matters as the commissioner prescribes. The commissioner may also address inquiries to any health service corporation or its officers in relation to its condition of affairs, or any matter connected with its transactions, and it shall be the duty of the officers of the corporation to promptly reply in writing to all inquiries. For good cause shown, the commissioner may extend the time within which a statement shall be filed. b. A health service corporation neglecting to make and file its annual statement in the form and within the time provided by subsection a. of this section or neglecting to reply in writing to inquiries of the commissioner within a reasonable time, as specified by the commissioner, shall forfeit $100.00 for each day's neglect, to be recovered in a civil or administrative proceeding, and upon notice by the commissioner to that effect, its authority to do new business in this State shall cease while the default continues.
