Section 109-A. Administration of fund  


Latest version.
  • The superintendent of insurance may
      adopt, amend and enforce all reasonable rules and regulations  necessary
      for  the  proper  administration  of said fund. In the event any carrier
      shall fail to file any return or  make  any  payment  required  by  this
      article,  or in case the superintendent of insurance shall have cause to
      believe that any return or other statement filed is false or  inaccurate
      in   any  particular,  or  that  any  payment  made  is  incorrect,  the
      superintendent shall have full authority to examine all  the  books  and
      records  of  the  carrier  for the purpose of ascertaining the facts and
      shall determine the correct amount to be paid and  may  proceed  in  any
      court  of  competent jurisdiction to recover for the benefit of the fund
      any sums shown to be due upon such examination  and  determination.  Any
      carrier  which  fails to make any statement as required by this article,
      or to pay any contribution to the fund when due, shall  thereby  forfeit
      to  said  fund  a  penalty  of  five  per centum of the amount of unpaid
      contribution determined to be due as provided by this article  plus  one
      per  centum of such amount for each month of delay, or fraction thereof,
      after  the  expiration  of  the  first  month  of  such  delay  but  the
      superintendent, if satisfied that the delay was excusable, may remit all
      or  any part of such penalty. The superintendent, in his discretion, may
      revoke the certificate of authority to do business in this state of  any
      foreign  carrier  which shall fail to comply with this article or to pay
      any penalty imposed in accordance with this article.
