If any producer fails to remit the tax provided by section 2016 within 30 days after the tax is due, the superintendent may, following an adjudicatory hearing, assess a penalty of not less than $25 for each day of delinquency. Any fine collected by the superintendent must be paid to the Treasurer of State and credited to the Insurance Regulatory Fund.   [PL 1997, c. 592, §63 (AMD).]
