board of directors.

Commissioner may levy a fine on any member insurer which fails to
pay an assessment when due.  The fine shall not exceed five percent
(5%) of the unpaid assessment per month, except that no fine shall
be less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per month;

shall be subject to judicial review in a court of competent
jurisdiction.
