(1) Any company failing, without just cause, to file its financial statements as required in this Code shall be required, after notice and hearing, to pay a penalty of up to $1,000 for each day's delay, to be recovered by the Director of Insurance of the State of Illinois using the notice and hearing procedure in subsection (2) of Section 403A of this Code, and the penalty so recovered shall be paid into the General Revenue fund of the State of Illinois. The Director may reduce the penalty if the company demonstrates to the Director that the imposition of the penalty would constitute a financial hardship to the company. Any statement which is not materially complete when filed shall not be considered to have been properly filed until those deficiencies which make the filing incomplete have been corrected and filed. (2) Any director, officer, agent or employee of any company, who subscribes to, makes or concurs in making or publishing any annual or other statement required by law, knowing the same to contain any material statement which is false shall, after notice and hearing, be guilty of a business offense and shall be fined not more than $50,000. The penalty shall be paid into the General Revenue fund of the State of Illinois.
