(b) The commissioner may suspend or revoke, after notice and hearing, the certificate of authority to transact insurance in this state of any member insurer who fails to pay an assessment when due or fails to comply with the plan of operation. As an alternative, the commissioner may levy a forfeiture on any member insurer who fails to pay an assessment when due. Such forfeiture shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the unpaid assessment per month, but no forfeiture shall be less than one hundred dollars ($100) per month. (c) Any action of the board of directors or the association may be appealed to the commissioner by any member insurer, if such appeal is taken within sixty (60) days of the final action which is being appealed. If a member company is appealing an assessment, the amount assessed shall be paid to the association and be available to meet association obligations during the pendancy of an appeal. If the appeal on the assessment is upheld, the amount paid in error or excess shall be returned to the member company. Any final action or order of the commissioner shall be subject to judicial review in a court of competent jurisdiction. (d) The liquidator, rehabilitator or conservator of any impaired insurer may notify all interested persons of the effect of this part.
